May in the USA

First we hit Arizona. It was hot there, but the house we rented had lemon and grapefruit trees, so we had plenty of fresh juice (and went through a lot of ice!) to stay quenched. Here we see the cool Solomon demonstrating his pro knack for juicing citrus. Uncle Blake supervised this particular session.



David was amused by the mural in the entryway of the rental house.




We don't have any pics of the boys IN the pool at Yaya and Papoo's because every time we took either of them actually INTO the water, there were many tears. However, they did have a great time playing from the edges, and Soli spent much time with his uncle Blake sitting on the steps, chatting and playing.


Unfortunately, there are relatively few publishable photos from this part of our trip, since Solomon spent most of the two weeks in Tempe naked. (You'll notice that this shot is haphazardly censored by the inflatable snake.) We did put clothes on him every morning and repeatedly throughout each day, but they disappeared immediately within view of the pool, which was Sol's favourite place in town... except for maybe Chuck E. Cheese's (see following entry)...
