A trip through the Foothills, and an early Christmas!

Judy and I started today off by going to the 11:00 Church Service at the same Church we went to last week. Excellent service today. We made it back for lunch and then decided we would head out on the bike and go for a little tour.

Never did get the blog posted yesterday... sorry.... :-(( We did get two new back tires installed on the motorcycles though... wore the old ones out!

I wanted to explore more of the "Foothill" area where we are staying, so we headed out to the very end of it, where the mountains start! These houses are right at the very end of the Foothill...

Everywhere you ride out here there is mountains...


This is a different styled home, built right up on the mountains...

If you look close at the centre of this picture, you may see some people out on their dune buggies ripping up the desert...

And here is my favorite mountain picture of the day....

At the south end of the Foothills Area, is the Barry Goldwater Range. It is a huge track of land that is used by the Marines for training purposes. They fly the jet aircraft over this range for training.

Check out this picture.... this guy actually pulls this fifth wheel trailer with his VW..... did some major work on the VW.... it is an old bug....

Meet "Cactus Pete"... We stopped at the Arizona Market Place for some items, and picked him up to decorate our Motor Home Antenna!

At 3:00 this afternoon, we had a skype video conference with Shawn and Jenn and Emmie, to celebrate an early "Christmas!" They are leaving tomorrow from Tennessee to head back to Oakville and area for Christmas! We opened gifts on Skype and they gave us new hammock which we quickly found a new home for and set it up. Here is Judy giving it a "demo"... Thanks guys!

Shawn emailed us this picture of Emmie opening one of Her gifts, a new laptop toy! She just loved it, an kept playing with it while it was still in it's box! Look close and you can see Judy and I keeping an eye on Her from Arizona on the other laptop! Modern technology! Gotta love it!

Well, another busy day! We enjoyed our time with Emmie, an her Mom and Dad this afternoon. Tomorrow we have a Christmas Party at our Resort to go to! Plus there is a Parade...pictures to come!

Till Tomorrow....
