What We've Been Up To

I'm a little behind on posting pics from our excursions. So, here goes:

March 23rd - Phoenix Art Museum. One of my favorite artists at this museum is Philip C. Curtis. He resided in Arizona for quite awhile and actually was one of the founders of the Phoenix Art Museum. His paintings are distinctly surreal (as are Alex's):



March 25th - Our best friends' E & J's daughter's baptism:



... and Luke Days - The Air Force base's annual show of force. A bit rah-rah for me but I'm an airplane nut and they put on a pretty good show:




April 15th - Alex with a devlish look at the Glendale Jazz & Blues festival downtown:



May 8th - Diamondbacks/Phillies baseball game. Alex and his friend Adrianna are meeting Baxter, the Dbacks mascot:



May 13th - Camping with the folks at Kaibab Lake near Williams:


That's Alex and my dad in the boat.

Also in Williams is the Grand Canyon Railway. While we were there, they had a special event, Day Out With Thomas, where they got to meet several of the Thomas the Train characters and went on a 25 minute ride on a train made to look like Thomas the Train:





May 22nd - Alex's kindergarten Awards Ceremony:


He's a smart kid and a bit of a teacher's pet. I guess they don't fall far from the tree.

June 3rd - And finally, Kids Faire out at University of Phoenix Stadium:



We got to meet a lot of characters and see performances by Barney and Strawberry Shortcake (yay). Well, at least Alex liked it.

OMG - Alex is so lucky! John would kill to have his picture taken with a giant Spongebob! (no joke)

He-he. I think it was the highlight of the day for Alex. He wanted to hug Maya and Miguel but they were just leaving as he went over (probably a smoke break ... lol).
