It was National Garden Day and the Phoenix Botanical Gardens had free admission. I went with Amanda and my friend Carole, from work, and her son.

Hiking with Amanda at Pinnacle Peak Park, where we happened to run across quite a few lizards.

I was thinking today of all the things Amanda and I (and Chloe) did while we lived in Seattle and all the things that will once again be part of our lives.

Four months cannot go by fast enough.

For a little bit of cheering up and fun, Nikki + Amanda! Love the look on Nikki’s face.

Amanda at Buddha Point on Flickr.I think Amanda misses Hawaii too. Really, the only downside to that trip was not having the pups with us, and the person on the tram that nearly squashed Amanda.
Otherwise it was a really enjoyable place.

(Later we’d find out that Nikki would pick up a GI parasite from being at the dog park, but in the moment this was fun.)
