Friday - Saturday, March 7 & 8, 2014 (Lake Havasu City, AZ)

Today we did our normal morning routine and then did some grocery shopping in preparation for my nephew Taylor and his little boy Jayden's overnight visit.

Taylor and Jayden arrived a little after 4:00 p.m. from the Phoenix area, it's a long drive that he's made several times since we've been down here.  It sure was good to see them.

We BBQ'd steak for dinner and had homemade potato salad.  I was disappointed in the potato salad, the onion I used was pretty strong and I only used half of it though the recipe called for a whole one.  It was pretty windy outside today, so eating outside was kind of like eating in a wind tunnel but we managed. 

After dinner we took a walk through the park with little Jayden riding on his tricycle.  He loved going down the hills but wasn't able to peddle back up so his dad pushed him.  Little Jayden is pretty good with his letters and numbers and he's not quite 3 yet.  At every spot on the road where they had SLOW or STOP we had to stop and Jayden had to say the letters with his dad, it was very cute.  I think little Jayden got wore out because when it was time for bed, he went down without a fuss and was asleep within minutes.  Taylor says our hide a bed is pretty comfortable.

Saturday we woke up and had a relaxing breakfast.  Rich ran to a donut shop here in town that we'd been wanting to try out and got an assortment of donuts to go with our scrambled eggs.  After that nutritious breakfast we hung around and visited for awhile before it was time to make up our picnic lunch.  The plan today was to take Taylor & Jayden on the ferry across the lake and then go hang out at Rotary Park and have a picnic and play on the water and swings.  Here are some pics from our beautiful day.

Rotary Park, they actually have green grass, it's a huge park and very well maintained

Don't you love that "rock skipping" form....not.  Rich was the champion with the most skips.  Poor Taylor at one point, one of my rocks went astray and actually hit him in the arm, lucky for him I don't have much power behind my throws.....=)

We had a very fun afternoon and I think we wore little Jayden out, he fell asleep in the truck right before we got back to the 5er.  I think he'll sleep good for Taylor on the drive home.  Thanks Taylor for taking the time and the drive to come and visit.  We hope we see you again soon.
