We went to Tucson over spring break this year for Jason to attend a Cassini Titan Surface Workshop held at the University of Arizona. On the morning of the first day of the workshop we got in early to have the babies meet our friends and colleagues. Here's Glinda Davidson with Tycho.

On Wednesday we took off on vacation for New Mexico. I'd been watching the weather there, and it had been clear for a few days. So I figured it wouldn't be muddy. But I hadn't counted on melting snow!
View from the viewpoint behind the trailer. Snow on the north sides of topographic highs and in tree shadows.
Gwen and Tycho at the viewpoint.
Traipsing through the snow! I think that this is about the only snow they've seen, given our weak snow season driven by El Nino here in Idaho.
Babies' first campfire!
Cassie by the fire.
Sunset.
Long exposure of the babies sleeping in their portable cribs in the trailer at night.
Morning! Babies propped up by Daddy. We hadn't realized how much we were using the little bouncy chairs here at home until we didn't have any there on travel.
Gwen has the babies dressed in sweatshirts and cutie booties!
The boys, grillin'.
Superzoom of Cassie while on Daddy's lap.
Tycho with Daddy. Look who's got his hand in his pocket!
18" snowbank northeast of the fire pit. Jason and Tycho (inset inside jacket) for scale.
The whole north side of the saddle has lots of snow!
Gwen and Cassie down by the well.
Cassie and Tycho have somewhat rosy cheeks; we're not sure whether this is the cold wind or a touch of sunburn.
Tycho stayed warm bundled up with Daddy.
Last night at the ranch this trip.
At the La Quinta in Tucson. Babies' first swim in the hotel pool.
Cassie started screaming shortly after this picture, but Tycho had a great time for several more minutes.
Tycho is air-drying a bit after the swim.
