Desert Botanical Garden

We spent a few hours exploring the Desert Botanical Gardens learning about all the plants, cacti and more.  The girls enjoyed it...Brennan, not so much as you will see in the pictures.  Rylie was a tad concerned with the large amount of bee's who swarmed the wildflowers...she clung to me or Brian, of course it doesn't help when your MATURE (ha) brother walks around spelling his name B......rennan.  Which would cause her to scramble as she thought he was yelling for a bee...grrrrr.  We attempted Camelback Mountain, but the parking was insane and couldn't get a spot. We met Brian's friend from college and his family at the Biltmore for a pricey beverage and then a fabulous Mexican dinner at a local restaurant.  The last picture says it all about the beauty of Arizona!!  Due to the freaky spring snow storm, we have delayed our departure back to Lawrence by one day.  Can't say we're complaining!
