colossal cave mountain park

last week i went through my tucson guide book
and wrote down all of the cool things to do
and then i put them on popsicle sticks. 

the idea being that every weekend

we would pick one thing to do

to help us explore tucson

and arizona. 

the first day we got an opportunity

to try out our popsicle stick extravaganza

was july 4th --

we chose

the colossal cave 

mountain park

according to the guide book,

there are tons of things to do here.

the main two things are

the cave itself,

and horseback riding.

done.

and done.

we went riding through the desert

with our tour guide jim.

and our horses --

top hat & fern

then we went to check out the cave.

   

 

we saw a witch

with her cat.

 

and lots of other cool stuff. 

i can't wait to pick another popsicle stick!
