Is magnified when we visit the Desert Botanical Gardens. And, with Cana and Ethan, it’s even better.
When we arrived, I realized it was going to be a hot day (95!! huh!?) So, Cana let Tot wear her Life is Good hat. 
Ethan thought she was pretty cute.
Then, Ethan need a hand, so she grabbed it. 
Off we went!
First stop, let’s learn about the Saguaro. Did you know those holes in the cactus are caused by woodpeckers? Then guess what loves to hide in the holes!??? You got it: SNAKES! Hssssss
Well, we kept walking so we did not have to experiment with checking them out.
Then we found some cool huts. The kiddos just loved to hide.
Then we SPOTTED an OWL! He watched us dig for snails. Well, I dug for these little critters. 
We hit the lunch place, and then it was time to get out of the blazing sun. (I love these colors in the cacti!)
When we got home, guess what was waiting for her!?? Her new …..
HAT> And there was much rejoicing.
Thanks for the fun, Ethan and Cana!
