Nana's Big Adventure

In November, Nana had a great adventure with nine other women. These were mostly gals from Nana's old bridge group in Roseburg, plus a couple of brand new friends. We all met in Puerto Vallarta at a Villa that two of the friends purchased at an auction in Eugene. We stayed for a week where we were pampered by Sammy, fed delicious food whipped from scratch by Margarita, and kept neat and clean by Concha.

Even though we have very different interests, we all had a fabulous time with each other.

It was nice for Nana to be able to catch up on all her long time friends.

One of our big adventures was zip lining through the Mexico jungle. It was quite an arduous climb up (why did I think there might be elevators or even a drive up the mountain?) but well worth the trek. Zip lining was a hoot! Live footage of the daredevils are below!

We also took a very popular excursion called "Rhythms of the Night" held on a remote beach out of Puerto Vallarta. The food, show and trip out was one of a kind! We especially liked the crew and all their entertainment (see below - not to be Missed!)

Eating one of many delicious meals and enjoying good talk!

We visited a tequila factory with lots of samples!! It happened to be Lynn's birthday (sworn to secrecy on which one!!) so we celebrated (many times) during the week.

These are the boys on our evening cruise. They kept everyone in stitches and swinging their hips!!

Bet you will never think of "Grease" in the same way! We won't!

Here we are on the highlight of the week!! Fantastic, safe and way too much fun!

And, of course, no trip would be complete without hours of bridge......Seven No Trump!!

Colin Turns Six

Colin turned six in October, just before Halloween, so we celebrated both special days. He requested a fishing theme this year, so there was a fisherman's cake (river, salmon, and fishing pole!) and fishing for prizes (Papa is holding the blanket up and Nana is putting the prizes on the end of the pole.) Even Max got into the act!



Carving pumpkins was on the agenda, and didn't they turn out cute?



Halloween featured a Ninja, Tinkerbell and a Bumblebee. Since all three kids were sick, trick-or-treating was held to a minimum (but they still came back with good eats!)
