Recently I went to Montezuma's Castle and Well with Joni and the boys. The boys wanted me to bring baby Jake, but he is still too little for a day like this, it was kind of hot.
I can remember coming to Montezuma's Castle when I was a little girl. I remember being amazed at the structure and that people used to live here.
OK, so the boys were not as impressed as I was at their age, but they still thought it was pretty cool. These are my nephews TJ and Jack.
Here is my sister Joni with her boys. It was nice to hang out with them for the day and hike around and check things out.
After we saw Montezuma's Castle, we went to see the well. We looked up the site on the web before driving there and it appeared that we could hike down to the water, and there was a lot of shade for a picnic - sounds good right?
So my poor sister had packed this great picnic lunch in a cooler on wheels - and she drug that thing all the way to the top where we took these pictures of the well. Let's just say it was hotter than you know what, and there was not an easy hike down to the bottom, and no shade. So as we were deciding what to do next, my sisters youngest proclaimed in a very loud voice that he had to "poop" so we decided we needed to head back towards the car where the bathrooms were.
This was at the top of the well, and I just liked the contrast and thought it made an interesting picture.
Here is a picture of me with the boys. We ended up eating lunch in the car with the air conditioner on after Jack took care of his bathroom issues.
The trees around the Castle were really cool - they had all these colors in them so I had to take a picture. Even though it was really hot and we had to eat our lunch in the car, it was a really fun day and I enjoyed spending the time with my sister and her boys.
