HAPPY AMERICAN THANKSGIVING

 

We arrived at Lisa and Shawn's home

 

The Canadians are welcomed!!!!!!!!

 

Carley Joe Carson and Zoe had a game of pool

 

I thought this picture was really funny

It looks like Zoe is holding Carson up!

 

The kids had a lot of fun flying through the air

 

Here we have the Canadian and the American

Such good friends

 

 

Lisa made homemade cranberry sauce

Stephanie was 'put to work' making curley orange peels for a garnish

 

Interesting

Lisa cooked the turkey in a 'bag'

It was so moist the meat fell off the bone

It was sooooooooo good

Do you see how clean the pan is????

Utterly amazing

 

Before grace

We all held hands and took turns saying what we were thankful for..........

We missed Rod Beau and Cody not being with us on this

Thanksgiving Day

 

It's Rod

 

Friday November 23rd

San Tan hike

 

Just got a glimpse of a trailer full of

horses coming in to the parking lot

 

A gathering of hiking boots poles and hats

 

Some of us hang back as we like to walk

at our own pace

We take in the view

We sit for a bit

and

We take lots of photographs!!!!!!

 

Joe Kathy and Pastor Wayne are ready to go again

 

 

See what I mean

Now....this is fun!

Notice: hands are not touching the cactus

 

Here come the horses

 

 

Dan checking the map

He was the 'leader' of the day

 

Here we have a colony of Saguaro cactus

 

The life of this Saguaro is over

 

This Paloverde tree is wrapped around the Saguaro

It is referred to as a

Mother tree

Ha.......

That's what Mothers do
