Tucson, AZ

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We just spent the last 4 days in Tucson, AZ visiting my sister. We flew in on Friday night and flew back today (and boy, are our arms tired).

Our first day started off with a shock. That is when Gabrielle Giffords was shot at a "Congress on the Corner" event she was hosting. For those of you that don't know, my sister was featured in a commercial for Gabrielle Giffords during this last campaign. In fact, my sister supports Giffords so much she would have been at that event if we hadn't come in to visit, since it was fairly close to her house. Needless to say, my sister was distraught over the news.

My nephew Quin is Evan's age and they both like the same things. The boys played really well together the entire time. When the Giffords' news broke, we took Quin out for some lunch at a restaurant called Bobo's. It was very good.

We also got to meet my niece, Lennon. She was born in May but unfortunately we have not been able to see her. She is really cute.

On Sunday, we went to the Desert Musuem. The kids seemed to enjoy their time there as well. We saw a friend of mine who lives in Tucson. She met us there.

Monday, we decided to drive up to the Mt. Lemmon Ski Resort. It is about an hour to an hour an a half from Tucson. Our boys have never seen deep snow. Quin hadn't either. They all really loved it. Evan and Noah loved it so much they didn't want to get back in the car - especially Evan. Evan was busy making snowballs and throwing them. We ate lunch up there and got some fudge as well.

Today, we had lunch on the University of Arizona campus. The whole trip was really nice and Evan kept saying he was sad to not be with Quin. It was just nice seeing how much they enjoyed it.

The kids are now in bed.

Until next time...
