Halloween 2015


We had fun on Halloween this year. The day started out with a baking contest and so breakfast was served!




We have lots of good cooks at Winter Ranch that is for sure. Here are the winners of the Baking Contests.





Now it was time for Bean Bag Baseball but Trophy Gardens didn't show up due to some glitch in their scheduling.  We had enough people for two teams and so the games went on.







                                    Lee is the Score Keeper!



                                    The Winning Team

We are all set for the Golf Cart Parade







Later in the evening we attended the Halloween Dance at Trophy Gardens!


If you remember the Laugh In Show with the Dirty Old Man on the Bench and the Poor Woman He sat down with - well that is who we are! Just in case it was impossible to figure out!



JD, now the Manager at Trophy Gardens, and Lee











These guys won the Costume Contest



It was just great fun, as usual!

Bus Trip to Riverside Cafe and Cruise Down the Rio Grande River


Today there was room enough for us Activity Directors to get on the trip to the Riverside Dreamer and the huge tenderloins at Riverside.


We first had dinner before we got on the cruise.  The picture above shows the size of the tenderloins at Riverside.  They are the best you can find here in the Rio Grande Valley.

The nice places along the river are all on the Mexican side!























A park on the Mexico side of the river.  Lots of time you can see horses walking around here.
