Kirsten and her Dad and the kids. We had a great visit. Our biggest outing was a visit to the Children's Museum, Carolina's (Mexican food) and MacAlpine (ice cream sunday's). Carolina's in a hole in the wall barrio mexican food place which my family has gone to as long as I can remember. It has great Mexican food and freshly made tortillas. MacAlpine's is a soda fountain which my Dad went to when he was in High School.

We went down to the ditch for a picnic. This is a area about a half mile from our house that really reminds me of growing up in South Phoenix. It is an open ditch surrounded by cotton wood trees just off the canal. As a child, I walked to school each day along a ditch like this, but it was much deeper having been dug out many times. We had paths along the top of the ditch and it was an adventure to get to school and not fall in! Other times we played in the ditch catching frogs, crawdads and finding tadpoles to take back to the house to watch turn into frogs.
We have boats which we throw in & catch downstream

Drying off after a romp in the irrigation
It was late afternoon and the irrigation was just starting to fill the yard. The kids remembered playing in the irrigation other visits and had to wade even though it was sorta cold.
