This morning, we visited our friends, Jennie and Jovita. Jennie went to school with Papa. They have known each other since kindergarten and graduated from high school together. Jennie pulled out four years of high school yearbooks and asked Lauren and Taylor to find Papa in each one. We all had fun with the search! We also noticed that Colby favors Papa! Jennie had more fun thing planned in their back yard, looking for rocks and making bubbles. It was a fun morning!
We stopped after leaving Jennie and Jovita’s, to hike on Tumamoc Hill, an 860 acre ecological reserve and US National Historic Landmark, established by the Carnegie Institute in 1903, as a research facility of the Sonoran Desert. Tumamoc Hill is the site of the earliest known trincheras village, with 160 foundations of round stone structures and perimeter walls. Over 460 petroglyphs and a prehistoric garden are evidence of the ancient Hohokam people, who lived on the site over 1300 years ago. The views of the surrounding area, from Tumamoc Hill, are extraordinary.
