Train, Football, Riparian

The park we are in has its own railway, the Vale del Oro Railway and they got it up and running so we had to go get a couple pictures

Lots of work has been put into it, some fellows hobby

 Last night we went to watch the Mesa Thunderbirds beat the Glendale football team, it was one chilly night

 Tried to get a picture of the Tbird kicker no. 93 Kevin Jones in action but was not successful so this is the best I could come up with(Elaine has a nephew by the same name)

 Today we went to the Gilbert Riparian Preserve and were amazed it was very beautiful for being in the middle of a city. Lona, Elaine and Alberta(Elaines mom)

 Beautiful cactus gardens

 We found some turtles

 Some not so wild geese

This one was staring me down

 And tons of birds, this one was walking on water

 A couple cranes

 There were walking paths all around the seven ponds with different scenery around every corner

The warmer weather is coming back tomorrow and we are looking forward to that.
