Enjoying our last summer break weekend at Colossal Cave!

The boys' have been asking to go back to Colossal Cave ever since we took them there for a spooky candlelight tour a few Halloweens back. Since I had 2 free passes (curtesy of the 5K I did a while back) and it's literally 5 minutes from our house I had no excuse not to go! Plus, exploring a really cool cave that has a constant temperature of 70 degrees on a 100+ day always sounds like a good idea! ;)




Before we did the cave tour the boys' wanted to go on a little hike...I still can't get over just how beautiful the saguaros are! Plus since it's monsoon season everything was greener and blooming. I feel so fortunate that we can enjoy the desert beauty right in our own backyard!







This really is such a cool cave with a pretty wild history!

Our zoo rocks!

With our summer break winding down we decided to make one last visit to the zoo. It's a great way to spend a few hours in the morning and every time we visit we see the animals do something new! Finding activities that entertain all 3 boys is not always that easy...but the zoo always fits the bill!



Feeding the giraffes is always a hit!








Peacocks roam the zoo grounds!






We usually wear our suits so whenever we get too hot we head over to Kenya "Get Wet"







We even have a very artistic elephant!
