The Tucson March of Dimes held a family day at the Tucson Children's Museum. It was the first time we had been to the museum. It was super-crowded since it was a free day for the community and there was a Carnivale across the street at Armory Park.

Pump It Up
Since today was a day off (for one of us); I took Evan to a place up in Tucson called Pump It Up which is an indoor playplace with inflatables. We took my good friend Sunny and her daughter Anya with us. There were 2 big rooms full of inflatable slides and obstacle courses. Evan stuck to the biggest slide (most of the time asking us to carry him to the top).
After playing at Pump It Up, we took a side trip to Himmel Park down near campus to play outside. For those of you who are familiar with Himmel Park in Tucson, there is a huge slide there (very tall, very fast)...called the "Giganto Slide of Death". Right before we left the park, Evan decided to climb up the slide all by himself (I was behind him making sure he didn't fall). At the top, we had to come down of course. He went down the slide all by himself (with Sunny catching him at the bottom). I had to come down too...let me just say...when you have a lot of mass, you come down that slide mighty fast.
We finished off the day with lunch at Chuck E Cheese. Evan had a blast watching the animatronic characters. He even got to see Chuck E in person (without freaking out).
Evan had so much fun riding down with Anya.
Poor Anya was such a trooper, she suffered some serious brush burn on the slide bringing Evan down one of the times.
This was some other mom that helped bring Evan down the slide. He decided to climb the whole way up the slide by himself, but got scared to come down.
Note Evan's hair as he rides with Sunny. That slide was fast!
We were so proud to see him eat an entire piece of sausage pizza!

March of Dimes Video
A great video explaining what the March of Dimes is all about. Evan is getting closer to his goal of $500 for this year's March for Babies. Team Warrior 06 will be walking again this year (we're considered a "veteran team" now).
Snowy Morning
We had one of those rare weather occurances this morning...snow! As you can see, it was not a lot; but enough to have us on a "late start" day at work.
