Spring into Spring

3/25 I went to Bach's cactus Nursery.  Some of the cacti were blooming so I got a few good pictures.

3/26, Connor and Lisa came to visit.  We took them to Phoenix for a few days.  On 3/27 we went to a White Sox vs cubs game at the new Sloan Park.  Cubs won!  The next day Dawn went to Wildlife World Zoo (to see the baby meerkat and baby kangaroos) while the rest of the group went to the another baseball game.  On 3/29, Dawn went to Butterfly Wonderland and Desert Botanical Gardens.  The rest of the group went to the train park and to another baseball game.  We returned back to Tucson that night.  The next day Dawn and Lisa went on a hot air balloon ride.  It was a cool experience.  The only downside is that it went from Marana Airport north toward Picacho Peak.  I think other companies take you closer to downtown Tucson toward Saguaro National Park West and another one goes over by Sabino Canyon.  Dawn would like to check one of those out some time.   The next day Paul, Lisa and Connor went to the Biosphere 2.  Dawn and Nathan went to Tucson Botanical Gardens and Tohono Chul Park.  Nathan took more pictures than Dawn.  A lot of the irises were blooming at Tucson Botanical Gardens and the Flying Saucer cactus flower was blooming at both gardens!  Paul, Lisa and Connor went to Kitt Peak that night.  On April Fool's Day Paul had to go back to work for month end close, Nathan went to school and Dawn took Lisa and Connor to the Desert Museum.  We got to see the new black bear cub. Today Lisa and Connor had to go back home.

This weekend is Easter.  Tonight we are taking Nathan to see the Easter Bunny!
