Casa Grande Ruins

This National Monument preserves the remains of the ancient Hohokam peoples Grand House. This ancient building is four stories high and 60 feet long. It's the largest known structure of the Ancestral People of the Sonoran Desert. The early Spanish explores named it well
Casa Grande stands for "Great House"

Look at this Beautiful Prickly Pear Cactus. The fruit on top only comes in the Summer.  
Teddy Bear Cactus. I love the unique flora in Arizona.

This Cute Round-tailed ground squirrel stole a prickly Pear fruit and ran off with it.
It amazes me how these little guys are not bothered by the poky cactus.

My cute kids in front of the ruins pretending to be a Saguaro Cactus.

Having a great time in Arizona.
