Memorial Day Weekend

June 8, 2012

We were lucky enough to rent a great cabin in Munds Park (near Flagstaff) for Memorial Day weekend this year.  The people who stayed behind in Phoenix were lucky enough to have 85 degree weather.  Up north we were quite chilly.  

Tommy still golfed Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. He & Tom called it quits after 9 on Saturday due to extreme wind.  

On Friday I took him to the driving range and snapped a few shots before I retreated into the clubhouse to read (see below) and keep warm.

 Saturday night we had our neighbors over for some food, drinks and what turned out to be a game night.   Yes, our Phoenix neighbors were up there too.

Tuck & Jeanette

Tina (from Germany), Makenna & Grace playing Uno. In Tina's case it's Ein.

Tommy & Riley acting like big puppies.

A game of Spoons for the kiddos while the parents played Scrabble (girls) and Gin (boys).

Then a big group game of Left, Right, Center

The Graces

 Sunday we went to the picnic at Forrest Highlands.  There was this lovely sight.  I have spared you the close up of the severed pig head that was on a platter (seriously) at the serving table.  It was DISGUSTING! Although Grace did take a picture on my phone, so if you want to see it I can share.

 There was a velcro wall.  It looked fun and had I had a few drinks, I may have joined Grace.

It was a lot of fun.  As I said to Grace, if I win the lottery, I'm buying a place in Forrest Highlands.  Love it there!!!!
Oh, and I finished reading Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua.  Very interesting read if you enjoy stories of dramatic family dynamics.  I recommend it because of the interesting family dynamics, but found the Tiger Mother off-putting and self important.
