Arizona, Surprise, Happy Trails Resort April 1-14

These pictures are from last 15 days at Happy Trails Resort in Surprise, AZ  The past four months sure have gone fast.  We had a very good time with with Bob & Irm Mitchell, Irm's mother Rose and Dick & Bonnie Kotrba as well as the out of town company we had.

Bob and I played poker at least two times a week.  Kay and Marty, Bob and Irm went to play bingo just about every Friday night.  We met a lot of new friends in the 4 months we stayed here.  We may come back next spring for a couple of months.  All in all it was a nice way to spend the winter.

Happy Trails Resort, Surprise, Arizona

 The main street at Happy Trails.  This RV park was as clean and well kept as any park Kay and I have stayed at.  We are thinking of coming back next year for a couple of months. 
 This is just one of the many cactus that were in bloom in the park.
 We went to Friday night bingo with Bob and Irm just about every week.  The last time we went, I finally hit a winner on the two bingo's any way.  I won $62.00, But had to spend over $180.00 over the four months to do it.  It was a lot of fun playing with the Mitchell's.
Captain Dick.  Dick and Bonnie took their pontoon boat out to Lake Pleasant.  It was so nice to travel around the lake.  What a fun day.

Looking back on the lake from the back of the boat.  The water was so blue.
Irm and Bob enjoying the ride, and the beer.

Me, I also enjoyed a beer or two.  What a good life I have.

Oops maybe it was more than two beers.  Or maybe Dick made a sharp turn with the boat.  Don't ask me what the rope was for, I can't remember.
These two ducks would fly alongside the boat, then land in the water.  They would take off again, and fly alongside of the boat.  They did that about 6 times.  Guess they were looking for something to eat.
 
It was very interesting to see them land in the water so close to the boat.
Loading the boat on the trailer.  Bonnie is trying to pull it up, but she can't do it.

I like this picture of Bonnie and Irm.  Two good looking women.

Dick trying to get out from under the tarp that covers the boat.

Kay - Marty - Maxwell - Zoe drove up into the hills north east of Surprise one afternoon.
Kay and the dogs coming up the trail.  I stayed at the top to take pictures of them.
 
There were lots of yellow flowers.

Some of the cactus were in bloom.
One little barrel cactus.
I have no idea what kind of cactus produced these yellow flowers.
The saguaro cactus are so majestic.
This is another beautiful flower that Kay took a picture of.

Marty and the gang coming back down the trail.
Nice ?
We had a birthday party at Dick and Bonnie's home.  Bob birthday is on April 14th, Marty's is on the 15th and Renee's, Bonnie's daughter, has a birthday soon too.  So we did it all at the same time.

We sat out on Dick's patio and played poker for a while.  You can guess who was the big winner.

Bob - Renee - Marty
It was a nice cake I picked out for the party.
Kay and I went to Jim's several times for good burgers and sandwiches while we were in Surprise.  One of the best burgers I have had in a long time.
