Colossal Cave

This was pretty fun...we went on a tour of this 'dormant' cave, meaning it didn't look all that cool, but it had some fun history and was fun to explore. Outlaws and Indians were visitors here back in the day:)

The nice tour guide did a great job of taking our pic while we were both looking...



During the Great Depression, the CCC worked here to make trails and put in lights.

Biosphere 2 (Biosphere 1 is the Earth)

So we're trying to do all the things around Tucson because we have a 2/1 discount (for most things). This was one of them.

8 people lived in this for 2 years and grew their own food and everything under controlled environments--pretty wild.




The Ocean

The Rain Forest

The Desert
Pretty cool, but definitely a one-time thing...

Gross!


This was outside our front door. I don't need any more motivation to go spray for bugs than that!

Quick Stop On The Way Home: Redlands Temple

This temple was on our way home, so we made a quick stop for some pics. It was very pretty.





Soon after we passed tons of windmills...crazy!

Los Angeles Temple


After church, we drove to the temple and the visitor's center. It was neat to learn about the first temple built in California. And the sister missionaries were very outgoing:)





Disneyland!


So we enjoyed a full day at Disneyland and CA Adventures (after buying tickets, which turned out to be pretty much from the Disneyland black market! That was exciting:) Our legs were so tired by the end of the day because we were booking it everywhere, but we got most of the rides in:)

They closed Disneyland early for the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean premiere. We got to see where Johnny Depp walked--Scott's a big fan (ok, not really, but he never reads this so I can say whatever I want:)

Some of our favorite rides:
