Feb. 23, 2012 - We spent the day at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It is one of our favorite places to go when we're in Tucson. The Desert Museum is a zoo, a natural history museum, and a botanical garden, all in one place. We love watching the outdoor raptor shows where trainers bring out owls, hawks, ravens, and even a roadrunner to allow them to move in free flight. They always come back for a tidbit of food tucked into the crevice of a branch or the fingers of the trainer's leather glove. The Desert Museum is an awesome place to learn about the plants and animals of the Sonoran desert.

When we got back to the RV, I discovered that I had left a cupboard door open in the bedroom. Cooper and Teva, our bored cats, had pulled a bag of catnip out of the cupboard and had a great time of their own this afternoon.
