With Kim in Ecuador, the kids are looking to dad for the activities. Not surprisingly, we ended up in the shop. Lexi printed out letters which we glued onto pieces of wood for cutting. They did a great job and painted them back in the house.

Drake has been wanting to build/assemble this dump truck since he opened his gift on Christmas. With all my travel this was the first day that we could sit down and put it together. Cool idea but it was a pain in the neck. None of the nuts and bolts would stay tight so it was constantly falling apart if it was played with at all. He did enjoy the build.

The day I got back from AZ, I was exhausted. Kim surprised me when when she picked me up from the airport. She had lined up a time share in snowy McCall for just the two of us and we heading there that evening. The next day we retrieved the kids and took them to the winter carnival. It was a much needed break and the cold was a wonderful respite from the rising Arizona heat.
