We were off to the Community Center on Saturday for craft day. 
 
 Owen won the door prize!  He was most excited about that pack of Peeps.  The kids have never eaten Peeps.  Owen asked me what are "Peeps?"  and I said, "Well, there like marshmallows covered in sugar."  "Mom, I've got to win those Peeps!" was Owen's reply.  We were done with our craft and ready to go but Owen wanted to stay until the lady called out the numbers for the door prize.  Who knew a pack of Peeps could get a 9 year old boy so excited.  And he won!  We all had a good laugh and he and Meg thought the Peeps were awesome!
                                          Then we headed off to an event for Military kids.  They had crafts, a petting zoo, the fire department, a helicopter and lots of other stuff. 

                                                 Owen was super excited to try paintball!
                  On Sunday we were all excited because the Thunderbirds were in Tucson.
So we headed off to enjoy the airshow!  Owen and Pascal were in their element!  Meg and I enjoyed sitting under the wings of giant airplanes sipping on a smoothie!  However, we were on our feet when the Thunderbirds were doing flybys! 










These last two pictures are of Owen's two favorite airplanes!  I think just seeing these would have made his day.  He has put together models of these planes and absolutely loves them because they are both from the  WWII era.
The almighty B-25 Mitchell
                                                   
                                                               and the P-51 Mustang
 
                                              He was super excited to see these planes flying!
                         We booked the movers! Just a few more weeks before the packing up begins.
