Spring Break in Tucson

Ruby, Gavin and I are having a really great time in Tucson. Of course we wish Scott were here, but he is busy giving a presentation at a higher ed IT Conference in Denver. We went to the Desert Museum today and it was really cool. I hadn't been since I was a little kid. It's like a zoo, but just with Sonoran Desert animals. It had a neat cave exhibit that was a hit with Gavin. Gavin loved the bat exhibit. He and Steffi spelunked in the cave as well and he did not get scared (much). Steffi, Lis, Kendra, Katie, and me and the kids hit the pool yesterday. Well we hit the jacuzzi because the pool is still a little nippy. The next pic is of Gavin and Steffi playing at Casa Molina. Gavin and Ruby like Mexican food! The bottom pic is of Lis giving Ruby her first taste of a lemon Eegee. Ruby was wearing her Wildkitty shirt as a show of support for their Elite 8 showing. Eegees and Wildcats-2 Arizona Favorites! The weather is beautiful, about 80 degrees. Scott says it has snowed the last two nights in Denver. It's been great wearing shorts and t shirts every day!

The crocodile hunter

This was at the lake across the street from our house.  We had no idea we had crocs in Denver.

Gavin gnashed his terrible teeth, and roared his terrible roars and he was named the most wild thing of all.

Bike shopping

I went bike shopping with Ruby and she found one she wanted to take home.   I think she is going to have to get a little bit bigger.

Arrh there matey!

Scott took Gavin to the pirate exhibit at the science museum across the street from our house and we met this odd fellow.  It was only Gavin's second time to the museum, but he loved it.  We will definitely go back more often.

Ausbands at A Basin

This weekend we felt adventurous and took the kids to A Basin. Scott and G shredded the bunny hill. Uh....not exactly, but it was fun to watch! Gavin would rather lay in the snow and eat it than ski on it. We talked to parents on the slopes and they said that's pretty normal for a two and a half year old. In another year, he'll be shredding the bunny hill! Ruby loved the mountains and Scott took her skiing which she loved!
