On the Road Again

We are traveling again. This time we are headed to Phoenix, Arizona!
Here we are in Texas at the Cadillac Ranch. Yes, those are antique Cadillacs, buried nose first in the middle of a field and covered in spray paint.

No, she's not training to be a gang member

Daniel looking "like, way cool"


We'll save you madam

Peak-a-boo


Surprise!


We left our mark


Did you ever think it would be cute to see your daughter under a cadillac? Ironic ain't it?

"Grass!"

We stayed in Fort Defiance, AZ with my good friend Jolene Keeto and her family for a few days. She works at the local Navajo Nation Zoo. Here is Emilie, Rosa Keeto & Sadie possing with the zoo sign.

He likes peaches,

and long walks in the park ; )

His name is Spike. Isn't he cute?


Golden Eagle



Red Fox, not the comedian


Coyote


Mule Deer



eye of the puma

I told you he took awesome pictures!



This cougar was sleeping most of the time

The most vicious animals in the zoo


They're very territorial, keep hands and arms from inside the cages.


Next we went to see the Window Rock at the capital of the Navojo Nation
