We went to the river house for Memorial Weekend! We are in the Water Wheel Trailer Park. There used to be a Water Wheel the Indians used at the river here years ago, hence the name. One day an 80 year old Indian came into the park and talked to Jeff about it. He had grown up here as a boy and wanted to see it again. It is about 20 minutes outside of Blythe, Ca.
Blythe is a funny little town. Here is the Courtesy Coffee Shop that has been for sale since we started coming here three years ago. They make the BEST pancakes ever! We all order them!
This funny little restaurant is called, "Steaks and Cakes". We went there once and Drew wanted a steak, but they were all out of steaks and didn't have any cakes! We always laugh when we pass by it now!
This is the Horny Toad Saloon! Funny place all decorated up! There's not a lot here in Blythe. I think that's why we like it here. Very simple.
Heidi gets wet at the river and turns all ringlets! You can hardly see which part of her is what!
The kids love to play Apples To Apples.
Parker, Arizona is about 40 minutes from our place. We like to drive into this little town also and eat at Crossroads Cafe. They have the BEST Chili Cheese Fries and Biscuits and Gravy ever! Real down home cookin'.
Our family chowing down! The mural on the wall behind is of Parker and the Colorado River.
Do your kids fight over feet placement in the car??? This is Drew and Holly on a typical drive, kicking and pushing for their spot in the car!
We love to go into the Jerky Store in Parker. This building looks just like a caboose. The train station is right across the street! Very cute!
Holly likes to shoot cans with the BB gun!
There was a beehive on a tree by the beach in our park. They had it marked off.
This was Drew's last time to the river before leaving for his mission!He won't be back for 2 years!
Here we are coming back to our place after eating at Crossroads!
Dancing in the car!
