A Little Rest and Relaxation...

Sometimes you need to get away and we did! We had a wonderful time at Roper Lake near Safford. Some of our friends from the ward came also. It was beautiful desert setting with the snow capped Graham mountains as a back drop! I never grew tired of looking at those mountains, they were so pretty. The weather was magnificent with visiting, good sleeping and all that goes with camping...except we had water and electricity...hey! that's my idea of good camping!
Hard to imagine we were in the desert with those beautiful mountains!

Such a pretty lake and to think these parks are closing due to finances! Oh so sad...what's happening with our government?

The wildlife around was so cool. We had quail, roadrunners and bunnies running around our campsites... and this wise old owl was in the top of a very tall Palm tree...I was excited to get this picture!

Across from our camp, someone had made this homemade birdfeeder...we watched all the pretty birds come in... this Cardinal came rarely..isn't he beautiful?

Glad you guys had a nice time for your spring break. It looks like a really pretty place and like you said sadly lots of pretty places are being closed. See you soon!
