I love winter in the desert


Saturday we spent the day up at canyon lake with family, hiking and cooking in our new Volcano stoves, Christmas presents from mom and dad. 



Nana and Papa are native Arizonians and taught the kids all about the different kids of cactus they saw.  The "jumping cactus" really freaked them out. In this picture you can see cousin Addi is just waiting for one to attack her.




see freezing cold lake in background that no sane person would get in, Ty did a few laps in it!
He is currently training for the St. George IRONMAN, and really needed to test his new wet suit out.

Tiff! I love that pic of you and your girls. They all look like you! My mom teaches my kids about the cactus too. Must be a Stapley thing. She knows all of them. :)
