It's not Halloween and no he's not one of the relatives. That's the mascot for the Arizona State Sun devils,"Sparky!" My two Daughters took DJ down to get a picture of all of them together.We had a great time.(despite losing the game)
This is a picture of all of us about an hour before game time.We decided we better take the picture before the stands filled up.We are in the first 3 rows starting with my two son in laws Bill and Dustin, left to right,Daughter Katie,and brother Larry. Me in the next row with DJ,my sister in law Martha and Brother Gary.Behind us is Melony, and my son Dan,Granddaughter Alyx,and Jeni. My daughter Jackie took the picture.
Jeni and I Decided to go as Mr. and Mrs. Dracula for the annual Park Sierra Halloween party.....Big Mistake! But we had a great time anyway.There were some VIP's that actually showed up to this little get together.
There was Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause, down vacationing at the park before heading back to the north pole for the big day.
Capt. Jack Sparrow was in port and stopped by. I'm not sure who he is with but ,rumor has it that she Carry's a mean sting!
Yasser Arafat never misses these little get together's and he dropped in. There is some talk of a back room deal with the maintenance crew and Arafat concerning free gasoline and propane in exchange for a membership to the park and our best site.But at this point it is just a rumor.
These fall days Jeni and I are volunteering at the park.She works in the office,works on a couple of committees and takes care of the drink cooler.I am working with my buddy Dave on the Asphalt "crack sealing" crew. I blow out all the debris in the cracks with a compressor that we have mounted on a trailer while "Big Dave" goes ahead of me with a leaf blower clearing all the leaves.
This is my rig I haul around.It is actually pretty easy work and the day goes fast.By day I mean 8am-noon with a half an hour coffee and cookie break.Tough life!
That's me with the asphalt machine.The shinny little lines you see is tar that the machine lays.pretty cool. I have to be careful though as the tar is heated to 300 degrees.I wear welders gloves as even the handle of the machine is pretty hot.Dave and I fight over who pushes the machine on cold mornings.A nice way to keep warm!
Jeni loves the park in the fall as the leaves on the trees come alive with blazing colors.It is truly a beautiful park
We are having a great time this fall.We couldn't have chosen a better place to call home.
We are so lucky to have joined this community,a community that keeps you young, if only at heart!
What a life! Fall with family and friends.
