I have gone and done it again. I let a month go by with no posts, but a giant accumulation of photos! Happy half-birthday to Brendan and Trevor! Happy real birthday to Ashley (13 on the 13th!) <\/p>\n

I have to divide up into sub-posts again.<\/p>\n

Sub-post #1:<\/strong> 03\/26 – Trip back to the VLA<\/p>\n

We went during the wrong configuration last time, so we had to go back!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wide open spaces, lots of wind!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Flying kites that look like boys \ud83d\ude09
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, the array had its back to us
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Except for the one, with the sun going down
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys were freezing!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stayed the night at a hotel in Socorro, NM and came back to the array in the morning. It was still cold and really windy! The boys played with the solar telescope
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, they were facing us
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The repair facility.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a little large!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sub-post #2:<\/strong> 04\/01 – Bumblebee Ranch<\/p>\n

We had a really amazing HopeKids event at an entertainment\/cattle ranch in Bumblebee, AZ.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a really tall zipline
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor decided he was going to go!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He jumped!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It took a little encouragement
