Wow, can't believe I'm about to cover Arizona in only three blog posts. So much happened while I was there, but I would hate to bore the 2 people that actually look at my blog (thanks mom & grandmother).
Item number one: I must be an idiot, but until two years ago, I honestly believed cactus only got to be about 2 or 3 feet tall. I was wrong. People have these things as plants in their yard. So funny.
This just freaked me out. Sara's dad has saved the scorpions he found in their house over the last year in their garage. (And then when I started telling my Arizona friends about the ticks I got at home over the summer, they FREAKED. In my book though, scorpions = wayyyy groddier than ticks.)
HAH! So, Sara decides to tell me that these "jumping cactus" are attracted to body heat and if you get too close they jump off and attach themselves to you. Still don't know if I believe that one. Every time I got close she'd be like, "DANI, I'M SERIOUS! GET AWAY!" Whatevaaaa.
That was just so fun to look at, Danielle! I can't imagine you NOT having a good time there. How nice for you to have been able to make the trip. You have some great friends it seems.
