the train! the train!

since toby goes to preschool on monday/wednesday/friday mornings, i try to make sure that tuesdays and thursdays are a little extra special. harkins summer movie fun helped take care of tuesdays this summer, and i declared thursday as "outing day". today's outing was to one of our very favorite places, mccormick-stillman railroad park in scottsdale. it was very hot, but still a fun morning. and we had an extra special treat, daddy came along too! that is truly rare for him to come play on a work morning. so here are some pics (look, aimee- i did it all by myself..........)


how precious!

he could literally do this for days

after a blue raspberry icee!

we also watched ballets russes last night. most documentaries are difficult to follow all the way through, but we enjoyed this one very much. probably me more than matthew. i just kept thinking about what amazing lives these folks lived, to be nearly forgotten in modern society. watching the interviews and seeing them in their lives today, was just so sweet and touching. most of the dancers are still dancing/teaching/funding ballet today all across the world.
