 Did you know???

It takes the Saguaros cactus about 14 years to grow three feet tall and between 60 and 75 years to sprout its first arm. Saguaros with five arms are more than 150 years old!

  1. I know I probably say this every week but I love your lapjournals. Oh, how I wish I had it in me to do one this year :-( Are you guys having a hard time saying goodbye to a country? As I was taking down all of the decorations, I was thinking how fast those two weeks went. Can't wait to see what creative things you come up with for Canada. Have a great week!
