Well, the signs of springs that we observed around town turned out to be teasers, not the real thing. We woke up to snow on Tuesday morning! Fortunately, our plan for the day was to drive to Phoenix, where it was nice and warm; perfect weather for an early birthday celebration with lunch and Rita's Water Ice.
High school graduation is on the horizon, school is winding down, and activities are ending. This past weekend, Noah attended his last Boy Scout Campout. It was a shooting camp, and he came home with accomplishments in target shooting. The sunrise at 5:30 am makes for a long day.
