Back on dry land and back to ‘reality’.

The Shoe Crew (Daughter Heather and family) moved from Lemoore, CA to Ridgecrest, CA.  They, too, are embarking on new adventures.  With a Navy retirement after 20+ years, son-in-law Christian obtained a job with a Navy contractor in Ridgecrest – so the family was off to new digs.  And, we went to check out the new home and surroundings.

Our first stop in all our travels is the Visitor Center.  Ridgecrest was no exception and we had quite a morning – –

So…what time is it really?

Buds.

Thinking of Keith while trying to replicate the infamous family “butt shot”.

A horse/burro rescue operation is also nearby.  We were given a ‘tip’ to go get a bag of carrots before our visit.  It sure made us popular!

The burrows loved the carrots.

Where are my carrots??

When we finally got back to Scottsdale – there was lots more volleyball with niece Demi –

More volleyball..

The cheering section is always there;-)

This family has a lot of February birthdays that finish with Mother Dorthy’s.  This year was the BIG 85 celebrated with family and Phyllis (who reaches 85 also)!!

The whole fam-damily.

Bookends at 85;-)

Celebrations are fun – especially with family.
