LaVerl's brothers & sister and spouses all got together over the weekend for some fun and work. We met at Roosevelt first and went 4-wheeling and boating.
Rick and Paula- Rick was prepared with his goggles and handkerchief!
Dave was a great sport riding with his healing broken ribs.
Bryan & J'net were so nice to let Dave & Mary ride their 4-wheeler while they stayed at the house.
And were off!
We rode up to the Revis Mountain Sanctuary where Peter Bigfoot has a place where he has a huge garden, fruit trees, herbs and lots of interesting things. He teaches classes on desert plants and natural remedies. A really neat and knowledgable man.
He has lots of turkeys wandering around!
This big 'tom' was a little scary!
They harvest the fruit, herbs, asparagus, and persimmons as cash crops at a Farmers Market in Globe to help cover costs.
He had some solar panels LaVerl was interested in looking at.
He used a solar panel to run the pump for water that irrigated his crops. Its been a really dry year there, they've only had about 4 inches of rain!
Heading back, it was a little hot, but fun!
The guys playing 'Hearts'
The girls in the kitchen. Paula & J'net brought lots of good food.
Paula making her good chili egg breakfast! Yummy!
Mary & J'net and a messy counter! Later I couldn't find my camera when we took our boat ride out on the Lake, so I didn't get any pictures, but we enjoyed that too.
Once in Eagar, they all worked on going through all their parents boxes still left in our shop. Its been a few years and it was time to take care of their parents things. We spent some time up at Milligan walking around the property that their parents loved so much. We ate lots of good food, played some cards, worked, played, visited and strengthened our family bonds. Thanks for coming family, lets plan some more good times together!
