Taste of Tucson -- Summer 2013





First summer photo is always at the airport, hanging around the baggage claim area.  It was Augie's first Sojo sighting. He doesn't remember Christmas.  Nor, will he remember this one, if not for the pictures. I think he was impressed with his cousin and will look forward to seeing her again next summer when he is able to tag along after her, whether she wants him to or not.

 The annual Tucson Airport Cacti photo shot.  It's a tradition, not to be forgotten.

Sojo enjoyed sharing bubbles with Augie and showing him his first bubbles.  Maybe a new tradition starting...blowing bubbles together.  

Ever the Jedi in training, Sojo challenges Aunt Cathy to a duel.  

The traditional family photo shoot, never to be left out.  It's a "Mom" thing that everyone has seemed to finally decided isn't a bad thing.  Maybe, even something that is looked forward to.  Mt. Lemmon has definitely become a family tradition.


Sojo spent time everyday in the pool.  Sometimes, two or three times.  This is a favorite of mine.  Goggles, a toothless smile, radiating joy.


Watching your son enjoy his son's first summer, is truly a gift.  A priceless gift.



Sojo loves animals.  Especially, dogs.  Little "Matthew A" is one of the few that she can be around without an allergy attack.  He is "human" like. He has skin and hair, not hide and fur.  Perfect for this allergy prone, dog lovin' kiddo. Being able to take him for a walk is one of her very favorite things to do. 


Taking Augie for swims is a favorite summer pastime already.  Of course, it takes us all more time to get ready for the swim than we actually spend in the pool. Next year, will be different, I am sure.  


That is the end of one part of the summer.  Fortunately, there is still the Washington section to post later and for us desert rats...we still have some hot days to enjoy.  A few more weeks to swim and lots of nice days to eat outside and enjoy squeezing the last juice out of summer...on into September.
