We let the sheep go to the field to feed. Afterwards, we learned how to herd them back to their pen.
These are baby pigeons...often a source of food for snakes that find their way into their home.
She also held a 3 day old lamb. Dr. Woody said the only reason we could hold him is because he was so young. By the time he was a week old, he would be too fast. He just said "maa maa" while he was being held.
We visited Dr. Woody's pistachio ranch. Caroline fed and held his Hawk - Gandhi G.
Brigid also dances with the Showstoppers.
Caroline did a great job at Michelle's Dance Academy Spring Show. She performed, with the Showstoppers, a skit of Cinderella and a dance to Proud Mary.
Dad's friend - had a new baby horse on her ranch. We saw him when he was 3 weeks old. His mom was still very protective of him.

Caroline named her Sophie. She is very tall, so it will be hard to find a safe place to store her!

Caroline finally finished her doll! She had a beautiful face.

Caroline was our photographer on the ride. She made some great pictures of the cacti, and took some funny videos.

Before heading home, we enjoyed a horseback ride through the Saguaro National Forest.

We loved the colorful rocks outside, that were formed from the minerals in the soil in various areas of Arizona.

We also viewed inside their ocean - which was filled with water from the Pacific Ocean.

The inside environments seemed very realistic.

Inside the Biosphere were 4 different environments - where the University of Tucson performed experiments. In the 1990s, 8 people lived at the Biosphere for 2 years straight. They made all of their own food, and studied the effects of living their during that time. They stopped the experiment early because they were not able to take in enough calories.

We enjoyed touring a miniature museum - called the Time Machine Museum. Then we toured the Biosphere.

Nana came for a visit. The girls took a road trip to Tucson. The Westin resort had a great waterside, and several pools. We enjoyed trying out our new underwater camera at the resort.
