The blinds are in......

We finally got a phone call from Dave our Blind's guy. "The blinds are in".....So...without a soccer schedule, we decided to head out of town...Kali didn't want to do the turn around...and we didn't push her, instead we took the time for ourselves...It's always nice to cruise up alone...spend time the way we want...laugh and cuddle and laugh some more....(Above pic out of order :/ ) Uh oh...still posting with words on the top. lol The weather couldn't of been more perfect. The highs on Friday and Saturday 103. Light winds and clear skies...just the way we love it.
After tinkering just a little around the house, actually close to nothing...I normally rinse the porch off, but this time, I just rinsed the back...where'd we be spending some time......I packed our Trader Joe snacks....we launched...and did just what we wanted. No schedule...no plans...just to get in the boat and head out.... There's something about being alone...and the two of us understanding eachothers wishes and dreams...it's the years of me chatting away and being a chatterbox, that I've learned to just sit back and enjoy the silence with him..let the fun step in front of us. Let the day make it's way of what we might need. Bill has always had lots on his mind, lots of engineering and thoughts..meanwhile...I'm the planner, the organizer...of what we're doing next...so when we step away from our normal routine and just be us...it makes for a wonderful time being us. Just being Bill and Lisa.....(We did manage to bask in the Havasu sun with our fellow naked turtles Jaymee and Sean-Silly times of course! Kidnapped and all!) .....Hakuna Matata....
Funny Bill did get alot of pictures of me this time. Usually the snappin' is in my hands....
I was so peaceful. So content.
In the background playin' of course is my favorite Bad Company or Jack Johnson...just looking at these pictures will take me right back to the moment....
One of my favorite destinations is Havasu Springs....it's a nice boat ride, when the kids were little they'd play games, we get snacks and of course a cocktail-
The cutest part of this place is this little Hamburger Joint..set right up on the top of the dock...it's simplicity and service are what make it rock. Seriously these boys endure hot days and probably buzzed people...but they hold themselves accountable for some amazing burgers....The system they have for orders and deliveries are exceptional. Simple hollar' "Lisa ORDER UP" and then the hacklers around the patio mimic the same and it's just laughter all around. I love stuff like that....so yummy. So cute. These boys are so sweet! (It's where my germaphobe must subside for occasion)
Bill watching FUEL TV....Motorcross on....perfect.
Cuddly wuddly.....
Havasu Springs....Good times.
On our way back we spot our ol' favorite cove. It's something sweet to pull into...with our picnic basket...cool drinks...and floating noodles....
Smile Mama.
So funny I asked Bill to program the camera to do an automatic shot of both of us....Well, he loves gadgets and programming anything...so he finally gets it all set...with longer seconds in between...and each time, he just couldn't get in the water fast enough. It was good entertainment for me. I just sipped and laughed and sipped and laughed...!
And blew bubbles.....








And here's another try! hahahaaa
This dragonfly insisted on hanging with Mama Fatal. So cute.
He's on my hand here....
So sweet....
Anyone that goes to Havasu knows this lighthouse...it sits just past Copper Canyon...heading past my cousin Monica and Kevin's place....
And just like that, our weekend wrapped up with our Big Sliding Glass doors covered with their new Blinds to keep ALL the sun out on poolside...Until next time.....Cheers to Havabrew!

I missed K & K....and especially these little munchkins....Buddies for one more week. Notice little kitties paw over Bucksie's nose....so cute....
