His very first snowball

Raiden's dad, Saul, drove us up to Mt. Lemmon, where there is SNOW, and although nobody had any gloves, Raiden loved throwing snowballs. We made a family portrait (2nd Extra), and as we drove back down into Tucson, the view was so amazing we (including Dino) had to get out and look (1st Extra). 

Krista Tippett gem of the day: "The core of life is about losses and deaths both subtle and catastrophic, over and over again, and also about loving and rising again." In Becoming Wise (2016).

One more thing: I spent the morning at Sahuaro National Park, entranced by the cacti. If you're interested in cacti...on the other place.
