These last couple weeks we have spent A TON of time outside. We kicked off the end of last week with a birthday party for one of Rohan's friends. Rohan had fun, and it was cool to see him interact with kids he is comfortable around and ones he talks about outside daycare. He played hard for over 2hrs on the slide, games, tree house, and bounce house.
We also hit up Zoo Lights with some friends at the Phoenix Zoo. 3.5 million lights make the zoo light up awesome!
Mara had off this last week, which was a well-deserved vacation given her last 6 weeks of nights! I took most of the week off as well and we spent 80% of the waking hours outdoors, and 90% doing some sort of activity. We hit up the climbing gym and climbed a couple times without Rohan, which was nice. We hit up our favorite city trail (The Greenbelt/Camelback Walk) for an awesome 22.2mi bike ride with a Thai lunch halfway.
We also did the summit trail of Squaw Peak (AKA: Piestewa Peak). It was a lot easier than the last time we did it (when we hiked ~6mi before we found the summit trail!), but it was still a gasser. We had some time to chill at the top and relax a bit without Rohan. We also spotted a park nearby that had 2 ponds so we checked it out. Turns out it has an awesome playground as well and a ton of ducks & geese in the ponds. We brought Rohan there twice this last weekend, and he loved feeding the birds!
We bought Rohan a kids (lefty) golf club this last week and took him to the driving range. He has so much fun hitting it, he probably went through 20-25 balls pretty much on his own.
Sunday we were happy to be a part of Heather & John's Santa Express tradition of handing out toys & candy in less fortunate areas. They really go all out, and had lots of help this year. The kids all loved Santa, and even a couple of adults did too...:)
Another busy week of 2 days of work for me this week, and 3 for Mara before her XMas break...:) Looking forward to Chris & Shell & Jackson's visit! Rohan can't stop talking about all the stuff he and Jackson are going to do!
Words can't express the fun we had the last 2 weeks so here are a boatload of pics & vids...:)
