Desert Garden

This morning we took a walk up to the desert garden that the local college has set up. It has a very nice little boardwalk going through it, and it's pretty secluded and away from the busy road. So I decided to take the kids up there to roam around and look at all the desert plants. Although it was a challenge trying to keep Crazy Boy away from the cactuses that would for sure injure him if he decided to grab them!!! LOL
It's a very nice little walk. We got to see a family of owls down in the gully. I tried to get a picture, but they flew away. When we came to the end we noticed they had tried to hide in a hole for water runoff. I still couldn't get a good shot. But it was very cool to see. I think that one of them may have been the owl that visited us a few months back. He made quite a bit of racket outside in our backyard. I sure wish he would come back and catch those stinkin rats that have made a home in the tree out there!!
Where in the world is Girly Girl?? LOL Girly trying to be sneaky and hiding behind the plant.

Yipee! You got out of the house! Sometimes we need to get out to stay sane- especially with three kids! Looks like a neat garden...I've never been to the desert. Great pics! Your kids are absolutely adorable.
