Fun Start to Spring

             It all started by celebrating Katy's 37th birthday. 

             A treat for us...they are usually in Mexico on this date and we are usually in AZ.

                                                 

             Katy's favorite "Mud Pie" decorated by Elsa.

                                                

              The boys stayed for a week while mom and dad were away on business

              Enjoying a little (very little) down time watching Mariner's baseball..     

               Playgrounds are always a big hit......

         

               .....especially when they are by the beach.

                     Lots of wrestling.

                   Being a BINGO caller is as popular as being a winner.

                        Frogmen or fish?

Backyard Wildlife

The bobcat that walked through our yard before jumping up on the wall. 

 They're bigger than you think.

       Baby mourning dove at our door.  It may have been too young to be out of the nest.

 

Unidentified

Trip to Kartchner Caverns

Kartchner Caverns, near Benson, AZ.

                                        

Soda Straws and Stalagmites.

                                                 

So many magnificent stalagmites, stalactites, helictites, soda straws, bacon strip curtains, egg yoke stalagmites, columns and other calcite formations in the "Big Room".

 

A fun day with Fred and Hilda.



                                                         

 (Missing picture: Bill and Fred caving in the visitors center...a must see experience.)

Super Bowl Blow Out

Getting ready for the big game......SEATTLE vs DENVER.

                      

Hopeful Bronco fans.

                                                  

 The "12th Man" does it again!  Seahawks dominated...final score 43-8.

  

Fun With the Cousins

 Chuck and Carol Willie, Corrine (Lorraine's sister), Bill, Lois and Bob Willie (Bob "Rob" is

Chuck's brother), Ted and Linda--at Chuck and Carol's.

Christmas at Club Roberts

                               Clowning around--candy cane "jewelry".

                                A little more clowning around.

                                Everyone was happy with their gifts.

                                        Elsa and her cat pajamas.  A sure hit.

                                          Reigning in the kids for a picture.
