Happy Trails Resort, Surprise, Arizona
A view of the town center near the movie theater. Great places to eat lunch.
Darren Skanson and his playing buddy Greg Hansen were playing at an Art and Wine Festival in Carefree, AZ. Kay and I drove up to hear them play.
Kay walking down one of the streets in the park at Carefree.
This was an interesting water fountain,
Since the weather had been cold, they put flower pots on top of the cactus to keep the buds from freezing or at least that's what we figured they were for.
This is a very big sundial in the center of the Carefree park.
Yes we had to have our picture taken with the GEICO Gecko.
I do not know why I even put this picture in this blog. I look like I a ready to whoop up on somebody.
Our first game at the Rockies spring training camp in AZ. The Rockies did end up winning the game.
Todd Helton just hit the ball to right field. If you look close you can see the ball in the air between the pitcher and the umpire.
Todd standing on first base. He is such a good player.
Dinger the Rockies mascot.
The Mitchell's and us went for supper one Saturday night. They had a country band, so Kay and I had to do at least one dance.

We took a drive with the dogs north of Surprise into the mountains. Maxwell got to run in the snow.
We found this rock toad along side of the road. Some one had a good sense of humor.
A look down into the valley.
The red rocks were quite beautiful near Sedona.
This church is near Sedona, AZ
What an interesting structure. Love the way they built it into the rocks.
The candle wall inside the church.
Pretty pansies
This sculpture was just outside of the church.
Kay thought these cactus were worth taking a picture of.
Parking on the road below the church.
Jerry and Kathy O'Brien at their annual St. Paddy's Day party. They were our land lords at Happy Trails.
This ball field was only three miles from Happy Trails. We went there a couple of times. The Rockies also won this game 7-2.
This is one of the salt water pools in the park. The water was very warm.

Francine and Orin from Mitchell, NE came and had dinner with us one day. Francine and Kay have been best friends for many years.
Our 5th Wheel got a new look while were at Happy Trails. We got two new recliners.
Took out all the carpet in the living room and had 16 x 16 tile floor put in,
Got a new office chair for the computer station. Sure does look good in our old home now. Should have done this a few years ago. We also got all the hail damage repaired to the camper while were here.
My old High School classmate Don Schaffer and his wife Karen came to Happy Trails to visit us for three days. Don and Karen live in Buena Park, CA. They parked there motor home on the lot next to us. This is Karen and Kay in her home.

Don and Karen's motor home. What a beautiful rig.
