Being the Bowens: March 2014

We spent a long weekend in Phoenix to attend the wedding (reception, that is) for one of Blake's cousins, and added in some other fun adventures! We went to an awesome organic farm that had a train ride and petting zoo and goat tree house (wait till you see it!) and u-pick garden, and restaurant with garden deliciousness, and carousel, and other awesome stuff. It was super fun! We also went to a Mariners spring training game, which was also quite fun, though we almost melted. Blake got to tour a really cool emergency operations center simulator in Mesa for work/school, we went to an awesome aquarium at Arizona Mills, and had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, which is always tasty. Rad is crawling and pulling up and clapping, and almost has two more teeth. Bash and Rory got much needed haircuts (no pictures of them yet), we made and canned apple butter with no added sugar (well, we used apple juice concentrate, which isn't too bad!), and I've been making yogurt and tons of healthy and awesome granola that we go through really fast. And, today we got our Zaycon bacon!!! 40 pounds of the tastiest bacon available. We eat bacon a couple times a week, usually, and this is the best. Yay!! We're huge Zaycon Foods fans. Well, here is the barrage of pictures:
