There was dancing. 
And water balloon tosses. 
Then it got a little wild when they pulled out the big water guns-we left and got back to work.

ADIOS AMIGOS PARTY
Man can not live on work alone (?), so we took time off for the parks annual going away party. There was a free meal served inside and out to a great majority of the 1500 people. 
There was dancing. 
And water balloon tosses. 
Then it got a little wild when they pulled out the big water guns-we left and got back to work.

BEGINNING THE SHED
Willie and Don started the shed by drilling into the concrete and anchoring the plate. Doesn't that sound impressive? 
On the second day, our Canadian neighbor next door, Wayne, joined in, and the walls appeared. 
And suddenly, there were four.

AWNING AND SKIRTING
The construction continued with one man working alone, but swiftly putting up the awning. By the end of the day, he was done.
The next day, he was done with the skirting by noon.

VISITORS
On Tuesday, we were waiting for the awning installer, and we had visitors arrive at the same time he came. Al and Shirley Ludeking and Karen and Willie Brown brought Cal and Betty Anderson from Decorah to see our park model. Always acting as a lawyer and inquisitive person, Cal had many questions for us. It was nice to see them. They even posed for blog material!
WOODEN VALENCES
On Monday, we had a problem with the wood valences that we ordered. They weren't the right size. Here the guys are mulling over the problem.
With the help of a good woman who shall remain nameless, we figured it all out and when they get the right size with the corners mitered, they'll be back to install them. As you can see, they'll look better.
On Monday, we also got our TV's hooked up. It should have been done on Saturday, but the guy was driving all around South Dakota looking for us. I guess you have to have a few mix-ups.

DESERT BOTANICAL GARDEN
On Sunday, we had to make a trip up north to take cookies to Brad at RV Traders, so we stopped at the plant sale at the Desert Botanical Garden. We didn't buy anything, but we did educate ourselves a little bit about southwest gardening. You've seen us come across Chihuly glass artwork all over the country, and we found a couple pieces at the garden.
I also had to take a few pictures, even though we didn't actually go in the gardens this time. Here's a Yucca in bloom.
A closer look.

The flowering trees were really pretty.
FURNITURE FINALLY
After a week sitting on a lawnchair, we finally got our furniture.
This kind of freaked me out-the room was full!
Thank God, it fit!
Even the table worked out okay.
We still have to find a couple small tables, but no hurry getting them. Since then our TV's have been hooked up, even though they were looking for us in South Dakota!
