Fun in the Sun

Today was a very gorgeous Tucson day.  There was a slight breeze but the sun had a hint of the summer warmth to it that balanced out the temperature and just gave us a perfect day to be walking in the sun.  Matt went for his Sunday bike ride to the 50 Year Trail in Catalina State Park with his buddies and had a blast.  Jane and I took Hayden to the Tucson Festival of Books, a free event that had book characters, free books, circus performances and music.  Hayden loved the Mariachi band the best and shook his little tushie the whole time they played.  He also got his favorite treat, a massive cherry snow cone that he nearly finished.  He's not typically a sweet eater and has never had gum, soda or anything like that, so I was surprised he ate so much of it.  We definitely got the sugar-crash nap afterwards as well, which was a nice bonus! 

We have really made the rounds to all of the cool local events lately and there's a ton more coming up in the next few weeks.  Saturday is the Davis Monthan Air Show, which Hayden has been excited for for quite some time.  We have been watching the planes practice when we go to TriSports and he actually knows about 10 different kinds of planes already.  He is really interested in all things Aerospace and wants to know everything about it.  I know that the Air Show will be a long day in the sun but we are bringing a stroller and lots of sunscreen so we can stay as long as he wants.  I also just found out that we can go to the Flandreau Science Center this Friday night and check out the big telescope and meet an astronomer, so we are planning to go right at 7 when they open for a little while.  I am going to make it a surprise that he gets to see the big telescope and also that he gets to stay up late!

I have been trying to get photos of T-Ball practice for a week now and I promise I will get some Tuesday afternoon.  Hayden would like to send his love to England and let you know that he misses everyone a lot!  And of course, we love and miss you all too!   :)
