Tucson

We made it to Tucson on monday afternoon, driving from Yuma after having a delicious home made breakfast! Mary Ellen makes some mean eggs benedict. Mom was so pleased with how well we ate at don and mary ellen's house.
Tucson has been relaxing. We are taking good naps - zac is back to two naps a day. He has had a bad cough, mom and dad finally gave him some medecine and he is doing better. Mom started coughing terrible too, here in Tucson. She is having a hard time sleeping. Dad's allergies are driving him crazy - the skin all around his eyes are red from him rubbing. But they both finally got to ride their bikes - they brought their bikes the whole way and finally are riding. They went separately, though - Dad rode up to Summerhaven and we met him at the top for lunch. He was so tired he rode home in the back of the 4runner. Mom went by herself today - Jiddo offered to watch us while they rode together, but dad was smart and said mom needed ALONE time. He's a good man. Mom felt really strong, even with her cough and barely riding in colorado - she said it must be living at altitude that saved her.
While in Tucson, we got together with some of mom and dad's friends - Toby, Jeff and Cheryl and their twin 5 year old boys Devon and Makinly for dinner (Toby's new wife, Jen had to work, bummer). We went by trader joe's - mom and dad's favorite grocery store and stocked up on wine, went to the new performance bike shop to check it out, went to eat at mom's cousin, Tenaya's house with Grandma and Jiddo. Maybe her daughter Bekah will come again and stay with us this summer. Today we went out to eat dinner at mom and dad's favorite restaurant with Grandma and Jiddo and then drove back to Phoenix. Tomorrow we take family pictures up at Josh's house - some guy is going to be taking real pictures - i got a new dress and everything!
good night
