June 2019

A bit late on our June update - it was a busy month. Early in the month we had dinner with Craig's friend and colleague, Bob, and his wife Marika (and their dog King!). Bob made sure Ben got to try out their pinball machine. Ben was a natural :).

Craig and I traveled to Crete from June 7-16th. Nonna stayed with Ben in AZ - I'm pretty sure he didn't miss us at all :). Crete was a lot of fun, but we sure did miss Mr. Ben Buns. Here are pictures from that trip if you're interested.

This month the temperatures are really starting to warm up, so we spent a lot of time in museums and the aquarium. We went to the Arizona Natural History Museum for the first time. It was pretty great - lots of information about the geologic history of Arizona, dinosaurs, rocks, etc. We also visited the Odysea Aquarium a few times - always a favorite for Ben. Also, our pool is finally warm enough to swim. Ben loves it all :)

Trying out the touch tank at the Odysea Aquarium. He never actually touches any of the animals - just the water :)
