Finally Some Pictures of Magic Valley Park

Well Dan and I just got back from the pool and hot tub. And this time I finally remembered to take my camera with me. It's a really nice facility we are suprised that every time we go there, we have the whole place to ourselves.

This is What We're Up To

On Sunday we also went to a Garden Centre just up the street from our RV Park. It's really kind of neat to go into a Garden Centre and find that, plants that we would consider "House Plants" ready to be planted out in your yard.

As you wander about, It's like walking into a jungle or the Assiniboine Park Conservitory. All dark and cool and shaded. They have rows of tanks with water plants and Gold Fish and Koi.

and the brick paths through the plants for sale.

This is What We're Up To con't

On Sunday morning we went to Mercedes, to find the new Outlet Mall. Thats where all the designers and manufacturers each have their own outlet stores with just their stuff.

It was interesting, but all I found to buy were a couple of T-Shirts. I'm sure we will go back again, because there are still some things I'm looking for.

I don't know what's up with weathermen. It's the same thing as at home. They always get it wrong. They keep talking about cold weather and every day since they have been talking about this cold front we've had temperatures over 70. If this is their idea of a cold front I'll take it.

Now it's Sea-enna's Turn

They have built a new Off Leash Dog Park in McAllen. It's about a 13 mile drive from our RV Park, but it's worth the drive. It's a beautiful facility, and Sea-enna just loves it.

It's 3 acres double gated with two sections for large and small dogs. Benches and water fountains etc.








She loves to run free with the other dogs. All we have to do is say "Puppy Park"and she gets all excited. She knows what those two words mean. We are even looking around in McAllen for a different RV Park to go to next year, to be close to this park.

NOW THIS IS A HAPPY DOG.

Off We Go to Mexico

Today we hooked up with our dock mates Sharon & Casey and took a little trip across the border to Progresso Mexico. We park our vehicle on the US side and walk across the bridge over the Rio Grande River, which forms the US Mexican border at this point.


Here's Dan & Casey at the bridge.

Just into Mexico and there is this big show of military strength. I think it is more a show for the Americans to make them see that they ARE trying to do something about the drug wars, but there has never been any problems at this border crossing like there has been at others that we have heard about. Once into the village it's like any other giant flea market, with people hawking their wares up and down the streets in front of all of the stores.

Glorious Texas

The last couple of days have sure made the long drive worth while. The weather has been wonderful. Yesterday we went shopping and I bought myself a new camera, which I am still trying to learn how to use. I hate the learning curve. I got a pretty good picture of Sea-enna though. Don't you think? After a nice dinner we sat out with our wine until after the sun was down. But just like Winnipeg at this time of the year the sun is down just after 6:00pm. It was still a nice evening.








Today we went out and did some touring and sight-seeing, and I kept trying and testing out my new camera. When we got back to the trailer I put a cassarole in the oven and we went for a swim in the MVP pool. It's a really nice facility with a hot tub etc. I don't know why, but I forgot to take my new camera to take picture. Oh, well, there's always tomorrow. We are going to be here until Feb. 5th so I'll get lots of pictures. This one is of one of the other RV Parks in the area. Because of the nice dog park in McAllen, we are going to look at a few of the parks there, to see what the possibilties are for next year.

The Sun Came Out.

The sun finally came out this afternoon. What a releif, it got up to the low 70s. We went over and visited with Sharon and Casey. We enjoyed the outdoors on their front porch for the whole afternoon. A nice time, and finally some nice weather. Tomorrow is supposed to go to the 80s, so it's time to dig out the bathingsuit and go to the pool.
