Hi Mom!
Sorry I didn't update for a few days, Kristee's friend Nathan is here to visit and she's been busy!  I ended up not going with her to the airport because she was running late and I wouldn't have gotten to look around at all.  I did get to go with her to her family's house today!  They were having a small barbecue!

Kristee decided to show me around her backyard first.  Her dad spends a lot of time in the garden and usually the backyard is overflowing with flowers (but since it's summer, it's too hot for a lot of the flowers to grow)!

Here I am with a Bird of Paradise plant.  You see quite a few of these here in Tucson!



Here I am with some pretty little flowers!



We found this little dish with miniature cacti in it!  How cute! 



Then I got to go swimming for a little bit.  The water was cool, but the sun was extremely hot, so I decided it'd be good to go back inside.  I didn't want to get sunburned! 



Clover and I wanted to get our picture taken with the steel cactus in her parents' entryway.  Isn't it cool?



Kristee then introduced me to Casey, the family dog.  Casey was a real sweetheart and even let me ride on her back for a little bit!



Kristee saved the best for last.  She brought me upstairs and took me onto the balcony.  Kristee told me that she misses living with her family (on the East Side) because she doesn't get to see the mountains as much anymore.  I don't blame her, check out the view!





All in all, it was a very relaxing day.  Tomorrow is my last day in Tucson, so Kristee is going to try and take me down 4th Avenue (weather-permitting)!

I miss you!
