Hot Summer Days











We've managed to keep pretty busy during these hot summer days. Last weekend we took the kids to see "Montezuma's Castle" which is about a 45 minute drive from here. It was a free weekend, which is good, because the kids were not very impressed. You used to be able to go and look around, but now you just kind of walk a half mile loop near it. The castle is a cliff dwelling made by the local Native American tribe (I can't remember the exact tribe). Loren and I found it interesting, but at over 100 degrees not a place to linger. McKay spent a lot of time entertaining European tourists. We then went to Sodona and had some fudge and ice cream and checked out the art. All in all a good weekend. This weekend Loren took Logan to do a little craft at Lowe's. He got to make a little helicopter with cute little goggles and a little apron to keep. Adorable!
Loren is not having a great time. He has been passing kidney stones for the past couple of days/weeks, and is currently having a ct scan. The pain has been overwhelming and I have been a single mom for most of the past week. We have plans to go on our first date in six months--Harry Potter--so I hope he feels better soon.
We have also taken the boys to a magic show, several play dates, the water park, and library reading times. They have been very busy!

I hope Loren feels better soon, poor guy. My Dad took us to Montezuma's Castle when we were visiting once, my kids didn't care much for it either. He also took us to Tuzigoot, they enjoyed that much more because there was places they could exlpore things. It sounds like you are enjoying Arizona and being at home with the kids.
