We had a great time visiting Nana and Papi..and other family in Tucson. Here are the 2 wonderful grandchildren with their wonderful grandparents!
Nana had a full schedule for us with lots of kid-centered activities. On our first full day, we headed to the world-famous desert museum. Dahrius was entranced with the rattlers, and many of them were very active. We also saw a snoozing mountain lion, bighorn sheep, an ocelot, lots of great cacti, a kestral, and a Chihuahuan Raven.
Dahrius' little cousin Miki lent her tricycle, and Dahrius pedaled all over downtown, to parks, to the children's museum, and to the nearby bike shop for a tune up (below).
Ranier found toy-heaven when the flight attendant gave us a bag of pretzels or some other junky item. It is really card to replicate the sound of a crinkly plastic bag, and Ranier was finally allowed to put the coveted item in his mouth (too big to choke on)
A little floor play at the Hall house. All the boys seem to be content!
We went one day to Mary Clare and Andy's (and great-grandpa and Sara and Gabe and Mikis') place and they had a cool day-of-the-dead alter. Yummy chocolate and peanut butter skulls!
We also went on a lovely hike around the neighborhood. It was a hot NOv. day, but we all enjoyed ourselves. Mikis and Dahrius really hit it off!
Here's a group shot of the hikers. Dahrius had an extra-fun time with Uncle Aaron playing hide & seek and generally being silly. When D was a little tyke, he called him "Uncle Urnt"...which somehow evolved on this trip to "Uncle Certainly."

Not so sure if Ranier likes peas...
We had a nice walk with old family friends, Christina's baby, Munai, is just weeks younger than Ranier.
