Here we are at the Civil War Reeactment at Picacho Peak!

Papa and Grandma come for a visit.

It has been a wet spring, the wash is really running and there is TONS of snow on the mountain!

Zane was a SARSEF science fair winner.
He won two awards, one from Tucson Electric Power and one from Sky Island Alliance.
Apparently every one was impressed with his project, "Why don't Birds get shocked when they sit on a telephone wire??"


Max did qualify for SARSEF but he didn't win any awards with his project "Where do Fibonacci Numbers Occur in Nature?"; there was some heart break over this, especially when Zane got a $25 check!!!

Here are the kids (Addie, Max, Zane, Kaylie and Aden) on our tour of ASARCO Mine.

This is the big loader truck and below is a picture of the copper extruder machines, they are like giant mixers that somehow get copper out of all that dirt.

Here is the mine, it is HUGE, not terribly beautiful, but useful.

Here we are at the AIR SHOW!! YAHOO!!!


Zane working on gunning down the crowd.

Max also worked on his gunning skills.

Yes, that is a P51 Mustang !!!!!

The Maxwells also made an apperance, we were on our way out as they were on their way in!!
