It knocked our entire family out Wednesday night through Sunday.  Yep.  Yuck.  And now it&#8217;s hot.  And the next few weekends are booked.  So, that&#8217;s a wrap people!  Hueco will just have to wait till the fall.  I am a bit bummed to not be heading straight back to tick off <em>Mr. Serious, v8<\/em>, but as Paul pointed out this week, now I get to look forward to a quick send when we head back later this year&#8230;which will be a nice little motivating goal to keep me from lounging too much by the pool with margaritas in hand during the hot Tucson summer.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>As a parting gift, here are some of my favorite &#8220;playtime&#8221; photos from the season.
