Orange Tree

We flew to Phoenix for 3 days to celebrate with Tonya and Kevin for Tonya's birthday. I love going in the winter. It was beautiful weather there. The orange trees were loaded down with oranges. We went to a movie, dinner, and then one night we went an hour away to the Glendale "Glitter Glow Block Party" They shuttle you into the downtown district and you walk around all the cute shops, and vendors, and then at dusk they have Hot Air Balloons on all of the streets. Once it is dark they all light them up. It is very pretty to see all the balloons and the whole town all lit up with Christmas still. It was magical! The next day Kevin took us to a local fishing pond and we all caught some (tiny) fish. It was very relaxing, and fun to watch the bird (Green Herron) try to get our fish. It would stand there and never move a muscle until we caught a fish. We gave it one of ours and it also caught one of it's own. We had a yummy roast dinner and pink cupcakes for her birthday dinner. The last night we just hung out at their house and they got us hooked on the series"LOST". We brought the dvd's home and are watching them every chance we get. It was a very fun weekend.

Hershey Pa use to do Hot air balloons. They would go up early in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Then they would come back and the the light thing to music. I loved going to it. For some reason they quiet doing it.
Glad you had a good time there
