4th of July - 2008
































I made reference to being a "tree-hugger" and there went
Maddie & Horton - huggin' them all...






Leading up to the old capital
the history of Arizona is inscribed...


A Chinese Cabbage Patch Doll in one of the Antique Stores

One of many Victorian's in the area


Blurry - but you can make out the double rainbow...

We headed up to Prescott for a semi-annual 4th celebration and were rained out :( We spent a bit of time by the original capital of Arizona's mall though and saw a couple of the antique stores we enjoy so much. Maddie took some stunning pictures of Horton. This is her guy...with her now whereever she goes. He was drenched too!! Have to say the rain felt good since we rarely see rain in Phoenix this time of year. So...there for a bit and home to watch the works on TV. Maybe next year!!
On an up-note...we received notice that our court date to adopt Maddie within Arizona/the US is scheduled for 8/13/08. This is the last hurdle - she has her certificate of citizenship, US birth certificate, social security number, her US passport is pending...and finally the readoption will be done!!!
