Mar 8-20, St David

We took Ryan to the airport Saturday morning, went back to Casa Grande and we were "on the road again" to St. David. It is about 55 miles south of Tucson, AZ. Travis and his four boys were going to Tucson the same day to spend their Spring Break week in a timeshare condo. Shannon went to London with her sister and then met up with them on Wednesday.

Travis and the boys came to stay with us for a few days. We had a pretty full house and wall-to-wall boys. It was one of the few times that I have been the only female in the house when our any of our family have been with us!
St. David was a really nice RV park. There was a nice little miniature golf course. I am not sure who was the grand champion, but everyone had fun.
The park has two artisan water "lakes" that are more like large ponds. There are lots of ducks and they are stocked with fish. Nathan caught the only fish we caught.
There was a nice pool that the boys all enjoyed. They kept doing cannon balls and dives into the pool. As this picture of Nathan shows, some of them got the photographer kind of wet!
I think this was maybe the first time the boys had played shuffleboard. (I didn't let them know it was an "old people's" game. Here is Nathan, Nicholas, and Josh playing the game.

One day we all went to Tombstone. There were lots of "Kodak" moments to be had.
Here's another one.
Terry and Spencer were trying to have a conversation with this gentleman, but they couldn't get him to talk much!
We went to Boothill Cemetery and walked through all of the grave sites. There were some pretty interesting stories to read about.
The rough and tough "Howard Gang." They are wanted Dead or Alive in some parts of the State of Arizona!

The boys went back to Tucson after spending Sunday through Tuesday with us. On Thursday we met up with them at the Karchner Caverns. They were amazing to see. They were discovered by some cavers (people who like to explore caves) in the 1980's who were exploring a sink hole in the side of a mountain. They kept the caverns a secret for 14 years until the State of Arizona passed a bill to make it a State Park so that they could be protected and preserved. Thanks, Travis and family, for the great time!

We really enjoyed the St. David RV park. We met some really nice people. One of our neighbors came over one day and said they were going to Costco and asked if we needed anything. Then she brought us some chocolate cake the night before we left to say good-by. I even got a haircut from a retired hairdresser who is now an RV'er. It was a great haircut! We look forward to staying at St. David again sometime.
