More Good Weather, More Baseball, & More Snakes!

The weather has broke a little bit here in PHX. The temps have been in the low to mid 100's, but the humidity has bottomed out quite a bit. We went from 60% to 20%, and that made a HUGE difference. We took advantage of better weather and hit up First Friday with Xiomy, but first we made a stop at the Children's Museum, which is free on First Friday. Needless to say, it was packed! Rohan was all over the place (which is the point). He was touching everything, climbing on everything, and wearing himself down. His favorite installation was the Noodle Forest. It was thousands of swim noodles suspended from the ceiling. He warmed up to it after a few minutes, and then couldn't get enough. After everything he crashed hard. We met up with Xiomy and walked around a tweeker art fest with loud bands right next to the sidewalk and tons of bumps and curbs. He never even flinched. Can't wait until next month to do it again!
Saturday we started picking up and getting things somewhat ready for Tim & Allison's visit. Tim can be very diva~ish so we have to make sure our place is spotless...:P Rohan has been watching videos and such on our iPods, but now he's taken to playing the games. One in particular, Glass Tower 2, involve breaking blocks and the sounds get him all geeked up. We were able to break him away in order to go see a Diamondbacks game. We had won free tickets through our climbing gym, AZR. We didn't know it was the night Luis Gonzalez's #20 was being retired. He had their World Series winning hit in 2001, and has been a God here in AZ ever since. He's a great ballplayer and a great guy. It was the first number this young franchise has retired, so the people came out in droves. All in all, 48,946 fans showed up. It was fun to see that many people there, since they usually had about 20,000 fans show up. The shear number of fans kept Rohan's interest, and he was dancing and clapping the whole night. He even had a 4 year old girlfriend to entertain him too. The night was capped of with a blown save, followed by a walk-off home run, so it was a really exciting game. Afterwards we watched a storm from the roof of the parking garage, and Rohan saw a ton of planes and Police cars. He slept good again that night...:)
Sunday we spent most of the day giving the dogs a haircut. It was slightly breezy and warm. Sweat & fine dog hair don't mix well... We had to take a couple of breaks to cool off in the pool and all in all it took almost 5 hours to cut them! Saved us over $100, so it was worth the effort! The dogs are going to love the shorter hair!
We capped the weekend off, and started the week with, a nice long 12mi run. The temp was a nice 90F, with a very light breeze. We again came across a snake, this time no rattle, no venom. It was a baby Kingsnake, about a foot long, and as wide a a pencil. Somehow we attract snakes...or maybe it's because we are running through the desert...:)
It was a good weekend, and Rohan had some great all out play days that wore him out into taking good naps (except Sunday, which was a bit of a chore). We are really looking forward to Tim & Allison coming out and have some good plans to hike, climb, and a personal yoga session by our friend Jeanette. Should be a great time! Heather is going to watch Rohan Sat & Sun so we can enjoy their visit a little more without being tied to a sleep schedule or drinking age...:)
Hope everyone had a great week too!
