Today we headed out to the desert (again) and went to Saguaro National Park just outside of Tucson, AZ. We walked and drove all around the park, but Mom and I still haven't seen a Road Runner - what IS a Road Runner? Mom and Dad make sure I don't get too close to the cactus - they are REALLY STICKERY! Anyway, here are some of the pictures Mom took...

When we left the Saguaro National Park, we went to a county park just down the road. It was called Colossal Cave Mountain Park. Mom wasn't too impressed - they charged Dad $5 to get in and then they wanted $11 to walk through the cave. The lady at the store said that I couldn't go into the cave, but they would babysit me if I had a CRATE! Mom laughed because she said I don't even know what a CRATE is - what is a crate anyway?? (So much to learn!) To say the least - Mom and Dad didn't go into the cave. They also advertised that they had Tortoises at the ranch and we didn't see any - Mom said they were probably hibernating - everything was all closed up and there wasn't a soul around....
