We've Settled in the Sunshine - Mike & Janet - May 2022

 

We started out May with an exciting trip
to Salt Lake City for the
Western National Level 9
Gymnastic Championships

It may be 100 degrees in Yuma but it’s still
winter in the hills above Salt Lake City

Park City Utah was full of reminders of the 2002
Winter Olympics

Those ski jumps…… pretty scary !

Park City, Utah was a busy little town.

Brandon and Karen had a great house rented in Salt Lake City
that made everything so much easier.

Now …..what we came for.
Anna’s big moments.

She was awesome !!

First on the Bars !!

Tied for second on the Vault
8^th on the Beam
And 8^th overall!

Anna’s coaches were over the moon !

What a tournament !!
We were all so very proud !!

Fancy dinner with our guest of honor… you guessed it,
Anna.

Back home in Yuma, the weather is warm (around 100+ degrees)
We enjoyed a evening concert. 

We've Settled in the Sunshine Mike & Janet April 2022

 

Just home from Mexico (last month).. and now we’re off to
MEXICO

    We love Mexico

This trip we spent 2 weeks in Puerto Vallarta…

 Such a relaxing time…

 

Pool time…

Visits to town…… one of many sculptures

Downtown.  Very colorful

This is the sunset from our balcony

This fella is a rather large iguana.  He and several of his friends
would hang out on the sun shade right over where we were sitting

Banderas bay

Such a mix of transportation

We took a tour that included the Marieta islands.
The birds are protected by the Mexican government
at the recommendation of Jacque Cousteau

We took an 8 hour “city tour”
FANTASTIC….

Tiny bits of natural beauty…. everwhere

Back home in Yuma safe and sound.

Our Country Roads Convertible Group

Took a short run up to Martinez Lake

for a lunch get together.

 

It’s good to be home !

What fun !!

Next was the Hawaiian Dinner and dance

So much fun and great music

Then comes a really fun Convertible Run….out to lunch
then off to………..

The Center of the Universe.

The middle of March brought St. Patricks Day….
and an end of the year Materials Girls Potluck.

And a St Patty’s Day parade too….

Mike took a a very special step this month,
He was baptized.  I am so proud of him.

The weather is perfect for a trip with “Tiny”

A trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

We drove east to Gila Bend, AZ….then south
to Lukeville, AZ.  That is where we crossed the border
into Mexico.  Another hour and we were in Puerto Penasco.

A fun spot next to our RV Park.
“Wrecked at the Reef”

Downtown Puerto Penasco….

At the Malecon…..

Puerto Penasco is known for it’s Shrimp…

Puerto Penasco (sometimes known as Rocky Point)

One evening, we went out into the Sea of Cortez
on a Sunset Cruise…and we saw this
Pirate Ship Cruise….

Downtown…from the water

The Sunset was gorgeous !!

After a fun week in Mexico, we headed home….crossing
the Border into the US.

Stay Tuned.... April is going to be fantastic!

February snuck right by me……

The month started with Mike’s 75^th birthday
Dinner out with Pat & Rollie and Jennifer & Jerry

Later in the month, we took a “Topless Run” to Martinez lake.
Weather was perfect!
Great day for a convertible trip.

My new table cloth……
My Christmas gift from Camryn.
I love it.

Valentines Day at a street party….

On a beautiful day a few weeks ago, we had a “Street Party”
So much fun and such a great way to meet all our neighbors.

Another street party at Brock & Sherry Quast’s
Love his voice…….  Great street concert!

Once again, our little Anna has amazed us.
At her most recent gymnastics competition in Couer d’ Alene, ID
Anna tied for first on the Vault, 2^nd on the bars and beam and first on the floor…

SHE ALSO GOT FIRST ALL AROUND.
Amazing !!!
