Tucson Day 3

It was another sunny and cold day in Tucson. But still we managed to have fun, visiting the Tucson Botanical Gardens with Gruncle while Aunt Suzie worked at the food pantry.

We played lots of games; Uno, Mexican Dominos, Sleeping Queens, Love Letters and of course Spite and Mallice. The puzzle is almost complete.

The butterfly room was the highlight of the botanical garden.

Can you spot the bug?:

One butterfly even landed on me!

Gruncle followed the rules and did not actually grab it. 



In the herb garden we smelled chocolate mint, lemon thyme and rosemary.

Ally had fun posing in the sun.

The tall cactus to the left is called “old man cactus” but Uncle Phil refused to pose with it.

There was even a model train garden. We had to take a look just for Poppy Dave.

Then it was out for ice cream at Gruncle’s favorite $2 scoop shop. 

We decided 52 degree weather was too cold to go swimming so instead we played games in the afternoon before dinner. Out to Mexican of course.

Then back for more games
