Memorial Day Patio Party



Memorial Day weekend we had a little get together at Havasu.



Trent, Bobbi, Linney and Jamye all met up with Chelle and I at the AZ home. Up to this point we had not seen anything but clear skies around town, but on Friday and Saturday we had a rain storm.



It was difficult not being able to swim, but we made the most of it.



Linney made gumbo, but everyone got in on the cooking fun (except me but someone had to be the photographer.)



We tried to spend time outside, thank goodness for the fire ring and blankets.



The men preferred the heat of the Spa to fight off the cold.



Saturday Trent treated us to bacon and eggs. He is pretty good at making grub.



Saturday afternoon Brian and Ginny drove up from Phoenix. Immediately we put them under the microscope to determine their personality profiles. In the group we had 3 ENFP, 2 ISFJ, a ESFP, 1 ESTJ, and a ENTP. Can you guess who is what.



The covered patio provided shelter for the meals in spite of the weather.



Meanwhile Crockett and Clementine cuddled on their favorite chair.



Sunday we were delighted to have a bright sunny day! Trent and Bobbi grilled up some burgers and dogs for lunch.



Can you guess which dog Trent trained and which ones belong to Chelle and I?



This was obviously a challenge that had to be overcome.



Fortunately Ginny is a pro hair tamer.



Sunday afternoon we headed down to the redneck Riviera to watch the boats and boaters.




Seriously! This guy had a DUDE tatoo. I didn't get a clear shot of his buddy but I kid you not, the other guy had SWEET on his back. I wonder if they'll ever realize that this wasn't a good idea.



In addition to grilling, he can also fill the pool toys.



I am good at floating on them.



In the afternoon we put on our Sinatra pool party attire and the real party began.



We had a great dinner.

And then the dancing began.... dancing always leads to the limbo.



Chelle gets her groove on!



I'm not sure how we got to this, actually I tried throwing several people in the pool and Jamye was nice enough to pretend she didn't know what I had up my sleeve. Here she demonstrates how to turn an ordinary pair of jeans into a lifesaving floatation device.



Everybody but Jamye, Chelle and I left on Monday to drive back to their respective homes. Chelle and I took the Jamye to the Turtle.



When you come and visit we'll take you here as well.



Chelle and I sure love it here and look forward to sharing our place with all of you.
