Mission San Xavier



We took a little morning trip to this mission that was build in 1783 by some friars from Spain. As we were there and learning about the history of it I realized 1783 was a really long time ago...who knew anyone but the Indians were here then?
It is totally in the middle of no where.
I love the white of the building against the deep blue sky.
The whole place was abandoned at one point and wild animals were living inside. They did major restoration on the whole thing.
They are just cute.
Deep in the labyrinth.
The Indians come to set up little eateries in the stalls on the mission grounds. There were about 7 or 8 stalls and all of them had the exact same menu. Fry bread, fry bread with sugar, fry bread with cinnamon, fry bread with meat, fry bread with honey. It was hard to choose who to buy from when they all look exactly the same and they are all eying you to see where you are going to spend your money. We chose the people who had two cute little kids:
I thought Jack and Chase looked cute playing under the table with these little Indian kids. Seeing them made me thankful that Quinn has a good job.

We went there right before we left. We wanted to go but never got around to it and finally we just went. It is so pretty out there-but definitely in the middle of nowhere!
