We took William for his first official haircut today. I’ve trimmed his hair a couple of times but this was his first trip to the ‘salon’. We decided to take him to a kids place to ease any fear he may have had (but ultimately I think Mike and I were much more afraid than William). We were very specific on what we did (and did not) want and tried to make sure that the stylist did not cut too much. Unfortunately, in the end the haircut was WAY too short for our liking. Mike and I were both sick over it. Our little surfer’s curls were gone…but in the end it is only hair…and it will grow back.

Hall of Flame
William has really, really been into firefighters and fire trucks lately so for our Saturday activity this weekend we surprised William with a trip to the Hall of Flame. It is one of the largest fire fighter museums in the world and it is located here in Phoenix. We had such a great time. William was so excited and he ran from engine to engine showing us all of the equipment. We were amazed at the number of engines that the museum held and the ages of some of them as well. They were magnificent. We all had a lot of fun and will be returning again in the future.

Local Celebrities
A few weeks ago we were asked by a local news station if they could interview us for an article that they were planning for Sunnygram and we accepted. Well, it finally aired tonight. It is a sweet piece and the news station did a great job at describing Sunnygram’s services. We are very grateful to the owners of Sunnygram (especially Laurie Wilson Ahart and her husband) for allowing us to use their service. It has been a wonderful way to communicate with the William’s Great Grandmothers.

My First Baseball Game
William was able to attend his first baseball game on Friday evening thanks to some free tickets. Uncle David, Kori, and the three-point five of us went downtown for an evening game (D-backs vs. Dodgers); unfortunately the D-backs lost but I don’t think Wm cared much. He had so much fun and was mesmerized watching the game. Wm was given a special pin, popcorn, and cotton candy for his first game. After the game there was an added treat of fireworks (which scared Wm a bit because of the loud BANG-POP overhead). But we had a great time!
DINOS
Here we go again…another busy weekend for the three and a half of us. Today we headed out to the AZ Natural History Museum. This was a first for us all and we were very impressed. We were able to see exhibits ranging from dinosaurs, to meteors, Native American Indians, early Arizona history, an exhibit about Mars, and there was even a gold panning exhibit. We had a lot of fun. William, of course, loved the dinosaurs and the 3 story flash flood. Afterward, we headed to our favorite “Some like it hot” Mexican restaurant for a late lunch and then it was home for pool time and naps (Mikey swam while Wm and I napped). We have had a great day so far.

Ghost Town Sunday
The weather was absolutely amazing this past weekend. Highs were only in the low 100’s and we had a cool breeze throughout most of the weekend. It was a gift! Since the weather was so nice we decided to take advantage of it. A quick drive east of us is an old ghost town; the place is pretty much a tourist trap but it has a train so…we were off. We had a great day at the Goldfield Mining Town. Uncle Scott, cousin Reed, and cousin Evan even joined us. We rode on the train, took a tour of the mine, and had a great lunch in a real saloon with a real country western singer and even got ice cream. The boys were adorable! They requested songs from the country singer, played under the water tower, and loved the train ride. William however did not like the mine tour. He was terrified and cried/whined the entire time. You can see the shear terror on his face in one of the photos. Here are a couple of shots from the day. There are more photos on Shutterfly if you are interested. http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=490cc1875ae5d92d6276141d224b0f78&sid=0AauW7Vs0bMWLJJg
