A Taste of June

For the month of June, we wandered around Arizona being loved and entertained by our family. We spent a few days in Mesa where we were able to see all the family for the Moore sealing and Lucy's blessing. While there, Cody and I got crazy one morning and went and hiked Camelback Mountain. It's amazing how fast you get out of shape, but we got up the mountain faster than he and Cari did, so I was satisfied! :) It has inspired the inner hiker in me and I'm ready to conquer any mountain - so long as you don't put a time limit on me! It was a lot of fun spending the extra time with my bro, too. On our way out of Mesa to Flagstaff, Cody took us by DPS headquarters in Phoenix so that he could show the boys his S.W.A.T. equipment. It was a big hit, as I knew it would be. While visiting Cody, he was able to manipulate Carter any way he needed to just by offering him handcuffs to play with.

They have two armored vehicles, the Bear and the Bear Cat. This is the boys in the turret of the Bear Cat, the smaller one.

Cody took us inside both armored vehicles and also a survelliance/mission vehicle (Sorry, Cody, I can't remember the name of it!)

This one is the Bear. It's quite a bit bigger than the other one. Carter and Isaac weren't as quick to get on top as they were before, but of course they ultimately had to. (I spared the pictures because they look identical to the Bear Cat ones).

We had plenty of fun inside the office, too. They have way to many dangerous things laying around. Most of them "dead," but not all...

Anyone want to mess with this tough girl?

Watch out!

Eric couldn't be left out of all the fun!

Thank you, Cody, for taking the time to take us there. It was great!

Our time in Mesa is always relaxing and enjoyable. While we were there we were also able to go up and see our med friends', David and Amanda Galloway and Santino and Polly Cervantes, and their new homes. It helped a little bit with Texas home sickness. It's great that we all moved in somewhat of a cluster.

Now you have to anxiously await to hear about our wonderful time in Flagstaff....Nail biter! :)
