Kansas may have twisters, but here in Arizona, we have monsoon season. The weather is miserable, from 110 degrees to hot rain, to humidity, it hasn't been pleasant here this summer. So, me and many other Phoenicians stay as far away from the heat as possible. But, when you have family in town, they love sight seeing, and want to go on mini- adventures. So, my suggestion? Take them up north!
My cousin Jeff came into town for a long weekend and we went to Montezumas Castle and Jerome. I had never been to either, and Jerome was a really cool town with lots of fun shops and great scenery. It is sort of a ghost town, have been an old miners town during the Gold Rush. We ate at a restaurant called the Asylum, which used to be a miners' hospital. We shopped for knick knacks, and had a great time. I really want to go here around Halloween, I here Jerom-ians really know how to celebrate Halloween!

It has also been the month of the birthdays. Aaron turned 24 and my gramma turned 82! (They are both such Leo's). Aaron, of course, would not let me take a picture of him blowing out his candles, but here are his cupcakes!!!
Here are some pics of my Gramma's birthday. It was really fun. Fran made amazing cupcakes and Aaron and I make lobster sauce with pasta and got my gramma this hilarious cake!
Do I not have the cutest Gramma ever?
I cannot believe that summer is almost over and school is starting again. I have lots of fun things on the horizon, like Yom Kippur and moving to our new place. See you soon!
