Birthday Celebration In Tucson

South Forty RV Park Tucson, Arizona

We left Yuma on Saturday morning.  We saw this hot air balloon drifting above the Colorado River.

On our way out of town, we picked up our new friend Aunt Mavis. 

We were all bound for Tucson.  Our good friend Lee was having a birthday celebration and we were thrilled to be included.

Claudia met us at South Forty and ferried Mavis to the house to be with family.  Lee was surprised because he didn’t know she was going to be there.

On Saturday afternoon, Tim and I went to REI to shop for new shoes. Tim said that he could see my shoes coming before he sees me! They certainly are bright!

Saturday evening, we found a Mexican seafood restaurant called Mariscos Chihuahua where we had really tasty shrimp fajitas.

Sunday, we did our morning exercise and then I spent time grilling peppers and making a goat cheese spread for some appetizers.

Finally, it was time to leave for the party.  Lee was completely surprised when we showed up!  We very much enjoyed meeting his friends and family.  Sometimes, when you go to an event and don’t really know anyone…it can be rather awkward.  But…Lee and Claudia are blessed with a warm and wonderful circle and we were readily welcomed.  We enjoyed the afternoon and then in the evening we went back to Lee and Claudia’s home where we had supper.  I had a blast playing with the children. 

Monday morning, we went to get Mavis from the hotel and then we returned to Yuma.  We are so grateful for our new friendship and for the honor of being included in this weekend’s festivities.
