"We can’t predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the next corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and the best is yet to come." - L. Tom Perry

Tonto Cave Dwellings

Saturday we went to the Tonto Cave Dwellings north of Globe. It was nice to get out as a family again and enjoy the weather before it gets too hot to do anything.

We learned a little about what they believe to be the history of these Indians that built their homes up in the caves.

It's a little bit of a hike up, although Phil says you can't call it a hike when they have made a nice path for you to walk on, but amazing when you get up there.

On the way down we saw a diamond back rattle snake, he didn't look to happy. We had all walked right past it, but Bryant said, "look guys there's a snake back there".
So we all went back to take a look . This was a not so small rattle snake looking right at us, only a couple of feet away. We all slowly walked away.

Pretty fun trip.

Looks like fun! I love those kinda trips, having fun as a family and relaxing too! Ben gets so anxious going to the grocery store with all the kids. We need a day out walking and relaxing.
