Andrews Spring Break Visit to Arizona March 2015

We are so happy to have Andrew visit our Arizona home. He has visited before with his parents and siblings. We aim to show him our side of Carefree and Cave Creek.
Day one after picking him up at the airport we drove home through Cave Creek as there was a big "happening" happening! Loads of market tents, and hundreds of Motorcycles. It was quite a sight to see all the "funny" people as grandpa calls them! Just regular people in weekend mode. The day ended with a hot tub.
Monday morning it was early rising as grandpa and Andrew were climbing Black Mountain with our friend Strat. Black mountain is a strenuous climb pretty much a scramble up a pile of black rocks. Grandpa said later it was like Andrew was on an escalator, as he powered up. Of course grandma made sure he had a banana before they left and a camelback with water. Good thing as the camelback was dry on their return.
After the climb the three of them went for "coffee" at The Red Truck where Andrew devoured a sandwich.  He spent some of the rest of the day napping. Teenagers do need more sleep I told grandpa!! Before dinner we took a drive out to Bartlett Lake which is about 10 miles from our house. We had heard the wild flowers were in bloom but if they were we did not see them. The day finished with the ritual hot tub.
Tuesday morning we let the "boy" (grandpa calls him that!) sleep in, while grandpa went off to play pickle ball. Andrew got up at my urging at 10:30 as he had to eat before the excursion of the day.Grandpa was home at 11:00 and shortly thereafter they were off to a spring training baseball game. We had bought two tickets to the Camelback Stadium where the San Francisco Padres and the Chicago white Sox had a game. The seats were behind home plate and up eleven rows.....very good seats. Oh....on the way to the game they stopped to buy Andrew a pair of us glasses as he had forgotten to pack his.
Home again, it was bbq time, and afterwards we had a bonfire in the back garden overlooking the runway, and pointing the iPad at the sky with the star walk app.
Again the day is finishing with the ritual hot tub.
Tomorrow is another full day.
