Sonora Desert Museum

We took a trip to the living desert museum in the Sonora Desert outside of Tucson. What a contrast to where we have lived the past few years. From lush, tree covered mountains to barren, cactus covered mountains. It still has a beauty of it's own though.

How about those thorns!
We saw owls,
Snakes,
Hellamonsters,
And CHILDREN monsters emerge from the rocks!
Morgan called the mountain goats sheep...not sure why, but we couldn't convince her otherwise
Closest to the rain forest we are used to was in the hummingbird atrium
We had a fun day with Uncle Adam, but it's always fun when he's around. Wish we could see him more often!
A hummingbird at rest (only way to get their picture actually)
Jordan thought the storm rolling in over the red rocks was just beautiful.
