We're back home now but here's a recap of our last few days in the old pueblo:

3.28.11 Mum and dad leave early to ride to the tippy top of mt lemmon while the boys hang out with grandma. They drive the jetta up to windy point to meet mum and dad then go hiking/bouldering. Great place to explore...Carter is really into climbing things. Jamo falls asleep on the way home while the rest of us hang out and rest. Chess club at 3:30 so dad, carter and grandma walk down to the library where carter plays 3 and wins 1 (battles Ocean again and finally gets one). Mum and jamo meet them there then everyone walks down to la salsa for dinner. Beans and cheese for the team...grandma eats chicken. Clean plates all around....again. Home for some showers then play lego minotaur game. It's pretty fun.



3.29.11 TMR for mum and dad. Leaving earlier this week so they have to out the door at 6:20...everyone still sleeping except for jamo who scores some PBS kids. Boys hang out with grandma, carter does some homework (writes a nice letter to beth the librarian). Grandma and boys walk down to wholefoods for some fruit and snacks then stop at may's counter for some mac n cheese and applesauce. Meet mum and dad at home then drive down to rio vista park for a meetup with lucas, izzie, zac and some new friends nevan and phoebe (kids of rua from squamish bc who mum and dad met on their bike ride). Home for a bit to rest and start packing (second to last day). Carter, grandma and dad walk down to the libray to read and return all of our books. Carter plays a quick video game with the "hanging at himmel" crew before going home for dinner. Mum makes some yummy coconut curry tofu and fruit salad. Long day, no naps, hotter too (80F) so we're all in bed by 7.



3.30.11 Last ride for mum and dad. They join the WMR group out to lemmon but then turn off (Mum: "i'm so done with that mountain") to do a lap of saguaro national park...mum's favorite ride. Boys spend the morning with grandma again...we love grandma....carter does one last report...on javelinas. After mum and dad get back, boys, grandma and dad walk down to playground to play some before grandma took the boys to a matinee...Tangled. Jessica stops by to pick up the burley but forgets the cover so mum bikes down there to return it. Unfortunately, she gets a flat (without extra tube/pump) by the university so she has to walk it to the bike shop to fix. Bummer. Been pretty lucky with flats though, here's the team's tally: mum 2, dad 1, carter 1 and jameson 1. Packing, laundry, cleaning for most of the afternoon then we drive up to the adams' to drop off some gear. Have some dessert, say our goodbyes then go to the finger rock trail for one last sunset hike. Boys have a blast and grandma manages to survive in her flip flops. Quick stop at toby's to say bye then home to bed. Last night at 1224.
