The day after Thanksgiving..Lake Havasu hosts' a swim across the channel. Brave swimmers, young and old partake. The swim starts on this side, with a race to the other. The first person gets $100.00; a picture on the front page of the Havasu Newspaper, and the honor of lighting the bridge and surrounding Christmas lights for the holiday season. The water is freezing, the crowds are huge, and the adrenaline is powerful. Last year Derek competed with over 100 people, the bridge is lined with folks, music and crowds cheering. He took 5th. But this year, he's on a mission. He has a plan, and we are so excited for him. The cute part, is you can park your boat, in the channel, and have a little fire in the sand...I make leftover turkey sandwiches, we have wine, and the kids have hot chocolate. Super cute, super fun, and it's cold. Such a change from the 110'- Good luck Derek!
The sunsets from our home are fabulous. One of my favorite things....Sunsets in the winter. Our entire family will gather nightly to toast goodnight to Mr. Sun.
Mr. Jacuzzi gets used more than ever during this time of year.
The firepit becomes our closest friend too.
And another year is coming to a close. How lucky we are to be alive, healthy and together with friends and family.
