Peacocks and Oranges and Cactus...Oh My!!!

February brought visitors, this time family from Missouri. Yes, CJ, Beth, Nathan and Lily came to Arizona to enjoy some sunshine and family.

We spent a day doing things that were unique to Arizona. It was fun having some of the little cousins together. They are all so close in age!
Harrison was busy pointing out new things while Ashley was holding him.

The little girls had fun together.

Nathan getting hugs from Lily and Anya!

We saw oranges actually growing on trees. Now this isn't something you see in Missouri!

A peacock was showing off, but not for us...there were several females watching too.

Uncle CJ with his children and nieces and nephew.

Cara and Anya check out the local horse at Goldfield Ghost Town.

With some of the "locals" at the Ghost town.

Just after we ate lunch the kids all posed for a picture. Poor Cara was not feeling well that day.

Harrison...

At one time this was an active mine...WARNING!!!

We had to check out the neighborhood outhouse...

Nathan found out it was "occupied."

CJ, Beth, Nathan and Lily with the Superstition Mountains behind them.

A lantern reminding us of what once was..

The Saloon's ceiling was covered with boots.

Anya was all smiles...

Cara was too....

A train took us around the whole ghost town. The kids were excited for the ride.

What's a family outing without a bloody nose???

Some rusted-out old vehicles were the perfect opportunity for a pretend ride.

Nathan getting some help onto a tractor from Grandpa!

And the ride begins...

Where do you go if you are naughty?? Directly to JAIL..

We all had a fun day and created some great memories. Until next time...
