Thanksgiving Fun

What a fun Thanksgiving Time in Phoenix!!! We
enjoyed having the Nays visit- Jenny in the
Doll Room was very happy to welcome Evie &
Annabelle and Savannah & Annabelle!




















Savannah & Evie helped paint
the trees...
















and did a grrrrrrrrreat job!!!
















Of course, there was just enough paint
so the girls could do their handprints!




















And we had a fun lunch with a "P Party in Phoenix".
There were Peanut butter sandwiches, Pink cookies,
Popcorn, Pumpkin candy, Peppermint marshmellows,
and Presents for Annabelle and Annabelle! What a great time.
















Next, it was time for our special Thanksgiving
dinner with Aunt Carole & Uncle Don & family.
What a spread! And nice enough weather so
we could eat outside!!
















After dinner, kids were in the front yard
playing ball (just like the old days when kids
were growing up but this time with Don supervising)
where Elijah was ready to hit...
















to the backyard where Savannah & Sydney
cleaned up the playhouse.
















On Friday Tyler and Dad worked on the car
and later Tyler painted the RAV and got it
back to being a Really Awesome Vehicle!!!














Don and family visited again on Friday. Later
that night we fulfilled one of Ruth's dreams
and went to Swenson's for ice cream. Ruth
remembers earning ice cream sundaes for good grades.
Evie loved the Bubble Gum Ice Cream!
What a fun few days!!!

The Traditional Arizona State Fair

We enjoyed Friday night at the Az. State Fair. Sharp-
eyed Carole spotted the FritoLay display with its
mascot. We were so impressed- they were giving
away free bags of chips or cheetos!
















The first exhibit we went to was the Butterfly
Adventure. This was the one I especially wanted
to see. Each person is given a Q-tip that they
dip in a nectar. There were 1300 butterflies-
most of them hungry for this nectar. There
is only one thing better than one butterfly...
















And that is TWO butterflies!
















If you look closely, you can see the tongue out
on the Q-tip to get the nectar.

















We saw "Slack Wire Sam" who gave a great
performance even in the wind.





















And of course, we got the traditional
Piggly fries & zucchinni. YUM sums it
all up. We also saw Freestyle Monster
Truck Action and Motor Home
Demolition Derby in the grandstand.
What a night!
