If you're friends with us on Facebook, you may have already seen these. I thought I'd post them for those of you who might not be on Facebook. There's a little more detail here for each photo, too.
One of the boys' favorite places to visit at the Desert Ranch is the petting barn. Last year, they each "adopted" a chicken and gave them names. Lukas insists that this is his chicken, Chicko. I have no idea if it's really the same one, but he thinks so!
This is the goat named Sundae who was just a baby last year. He's gotten a lot bigger since then. Stefan must have spilled something on the front of his fleece, because Sundae kept trying to lick it.
There is a tree growing in the middle of the barn area, which had to be fenced in so that the animals wouldn't strip the bark. The boys call it "Fort Apache" and have fun climbing the tree. (They are always up in trees!)
The saguaro cactus is only found in Arizona, a small area of Mexico, and a very small area of California. They take about 75 years to get an arm. This one has two pretty big arms, so it must be pretty old. The holes in the surface are from birds, mainly gila woodpeckers, who build nests in the cactus. The boys think it's cool to touch the surface of the cactus. There's enough space between prickers that you can do it without getting poked.
My grandma and aunt gave the boys gift cards to Wal-Mart for Christmas. We decided to hold onto them so they could use them at the Wal-Mart here in Casa Grande. They each found a new bike, and they were so excited!
