So the last week in Arizona, Connor came to visit!! We had such a blast hanging out and swimming everyday!! :) Man could this boy prune!!! His hands looked so funny!!
Brad doing his Gainer, the tricked he accomplished for the summer. I mastered the flip and a flip mc-twist! haha, I'm such a wimp.
Connor attempting his backflip, which he did later!!
We went out to watch a Pre-season Cardinals game against the Denver Broncos whom they obliterated!!!

The last day in AZ happened to be BRAD'S BIRTHDAY!!!! We had to fit everything in that we needed to get done. We had Barro's pizza for lunch, delish!! Saw the Gilbert Temple frame, and got some of the best impressionist Gelato there is at Sweet angel. (Connor carved a "C")

The first day we went and shopped around the main town. Stopped for lunch at this place for some great tacos!
Also ate some Paletas which were divine!! Craving them all the time!
After some shopping we went to cool off at the beach.
The boys went fishing, well at least tried, we always seemed to go at the wrong time. We were able to find lots of crabs in the rocks though.
The next day we went back to town and bought some shrimp and flounder. We took that back to a restaurant and they cooked it up for us and added vegetables, gave us tortillas, rice, and beans, and there was the fabulous lunch!! We love Mexican food, so so good!
Other things to mention: we played games, watched movies, chit- chatted, went swimming lots and lots, and Brad and Jordan
Naomi made the awesome dinosaur.
Thanks for taking the class with me Naomi, I had SO much fun driving with you and decorating! Even though we were late every single time... haha
We were so lucky it didn't rain on us while we were there, otherwise we would have been washed away. Nobody really slept that great because we were on a slight incline, which caused us to slip towards the bottom of the tent throughout the night. Who really sleeps well when they are camping though? The next morning we had some cereal and the boys played in the creek. Silly, silly, silly... 
Not long after, we drove out to the trail head to begin our 4 mile trek down to fossil springs. While chatting down the trail I noticed a brown rock that I was about to kick was moving. It was not a rock, but a 
Finally we made it down to Fossil Springs!! 
The last mile of the hike was so pretty walking next to the creek. The water was kind of cold, at least to me, I've been so spoiled with a 90 degree pool all summer. Getting used to the water was difficult. We jumped in off a small ledge first, then swam over to the cave. It reminded everyone of the cave from the Count of Monte Cristo, not as blue, but still pretty cool. We could climb up on the sides look at the clear water.
The biggest adventure was the ring of death. From the main flow of the spring you can swim underneath the rock and into this whole, pictured below. First Jordan and Brad swam through to check it out on the other side. As soon as they climbed up they told us all not to swim through because there was an old man stuck in the pool. There is a rope you have to climb up, and this guy had fallen too many times and had lost a lot of his strength. That kind of scared us all from going through, but as soon as that big crowd left we decided to do it, and just have the guys go through first to help us up if necessary. I thought it was SO much fun swimming through. You could see the light coming through as you go. Then you hit a wall of bubbles, because the water fall is swirling the water constantly, but you keep going and the water clears up again. When I did it I instantly saw the rope and grabbed it, I didn't want to get stuck in there. Then easily climbed up to the top. 
Of course the trip wouldn't be complete without jumping off of the waterfall! Kind of scary just cause you have to really push yourself off at the top to clear the jutting out rocks, but definately manageable.
I had to put this on becuase these guys are too goofy and such good friends.
We started our hike out just to stop again at this rope swing. :) Tons and TONS of fun!!
This trip was incredible, minus the hike UP. We all left the top with one waterbottle, so on our way home it was basically one waterbottle per couple to share. We were hiking at 3 o'clock in the sun, all uphill. We were a little dehydrated to say the least. Alas, we all made it back safe and sound. What an awesome trip! :)
Sundays are the stormy days. Sometime around 7 we can see the clouds looming, some make it to us, others dissappear. One Sunday it was a dust cloud, you can see the difference of the cloud vs. the dust cloud in the picture. It was so cool watching it come in, the wind picking up. Sadly it wasn't as exciting as it looks. The wind blew, and there was a little bit of dust.
It made everything orange though because the sun was setting, so pretty!
It was pouring rain one night so we went running through the streets and as we ran all these friends ran out and joined us!! It was like a musical, haha, so fun!! Then everyone came back and we jumped in the pool. :)
I find it so fascinating that scorpions glow like this. We go out with a UV light and search all the walls and bam! There they are glowing! 
Karaoke Night
Miss you Noelle and Nellie!!!
