Last night we met Ryan and Sheri Steele (the hip new bloggers) at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek for some good times. If you’ve ever been out that way, it took about an hour or so to get to Rittenhouse Road, and then what seemed like another hour to get through 2 stop signs to the farm. Anyone who lives south of Rittenhouse is hurting.
Dial Corporation had their corporate party there last night, and it was the first weekend of their fall festival, so it was pretty crowded. Once we got our bearings about us and took Lucy to the bathroom 6 or 8 times things started to go well. We had a great time on all the stuff there. The swings, bees, slide, pig races, pumpkins, merry-go-round, go-carts, and everything else was fun. The food wasn’t the greatest and was a rip-off, so if you go I would do what you can to plan your meals elsewhere. Of course if you went anywhere else, you’d have to come back on Rittenhouse, so nevermind. I digress. We roasted marshmallows on the fire, got slushees, stuffed a scarecrow, and all kinds of fun stuff. The girls can’t stop talking about how much fun they had. Plus I have an as-yet faceless scarecrow on my front doorstep. They were closing down so we didn’t get a chance to paint a face on.
It was good to see Ryan and Sheri again. For whatever reason, their girls seem to love Lucy, so that takes a load off of me. She drives them crazy, I’m sure, but they’re very patient with her and she had a blast. Everyone seems to match up pretty well and they all have a good time.
We’re off to Oceanside on Wednesday, so look for those pictures in a week or so. For now, enjoy the ones from the farm.
I want to know why in the world a person that lives in SURPRISE could bag the drive and life out here in the East Valley????
That is all
You’ve got to admit that anything south of Rittenhouse pretty much makes Surprise look like mid-town Phoenix, especially when you factor in those ridiculous stop signs. Speaking of signs, I saw a few 1 finger salutes as people politely drove out in the desert to try and get around it. So I’m pretty sure that those people know they’re hosed.
Plus I actually drove into Pinal county when I was down there. Don’t take it personally, mid, you don’t live down there anymore.
