Birthday weekend fun

Saturday was Camden's actually birthday so we started the day with one of his favorite breakfasts which was pancakes, bacon and spam. Yes, spam! When its fried it's not too bad (well what isn't bad when it's fried?!? ) Camden then opened a few gifts and we spent the balance of the afternoon playing with them.

That evening we met some good friends the Kehl's for dinner at Chuy's. We then headed over to the ghetto, uh I mean Magic Carpet Golf for some miniature golf. The golf experience was quite interesting. I don't think the place had been touched since '78. Most of the electronic stuff didn't work even though our engineering husbands tinkered with them along the way. Besides the fact that we all wanted to go home and scrub our kids and ourselves from head to toe (and we did) it was great fun to spend the evening with good friends.

Here's Camden getting ready to putt into one of many unique holes. The idea here was to get the ball into the toilet in the outhouse.

Here is the Easter Island head that you can climb up into. Actually you can climb all the way to the top for a pretty nice view of Tucson. Of course as you climb the spiral stair case you really had to wonder if they hadn't done any upkeep since '78 could it really be safe???

Our friend Kenyon is peeking at us from the nostril. :)

Here are all the kids (well at least some of them) trying to act like dinosaurs.

On Sunday after church, we headed to Kartchner Caverns. It was Camden's first time in a cave. Since he didn't know what to expect he was a little nervous. But once we got in he totally loved it. We were able to see all the rooms of the Caverns with the exception of the big room. During the summer they close the big room as this is where bats come to give birth to their young.

This picture was taken inside the visitor center.

These were the coolest grasshoppers. They were so pretty and we couldn't believe it...they were everywhere. Oh and yes they are doing what you think they are doing! :)

Some our obsessed with hunting animals (you know who you are!) and we are obsessed with taking pictures of them. This little guy was at Kartchner Caverns as well.
