We decided we would go to Idillwild for the day. We took the beautiful "Pines to Palms" Highway. It took about 1 hour 10 mins to drive there. We started at 36 degrees Celsius and 500ft in the desert and went up to 5000 ft and 16 degrees.</div>

My lovely parents had the opportunity to come down and join us for a week so that was wonderful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One warm Arizona evening, we all decided to go watch a live baseball game! The Arizona fall league plays 6 weeks a year and each team features all the top prospects hoping to get into the MLB. Our game was the Scottsdale Scorpions vs the Mesa Solar Sox</div>
<br />

We decided to cheer for the Solar Sox as they had two Toronto Blue Jays prospects and being Canadian...it was a given to cheer for them! Although he was on the Scorpions team, it was also fun to watch Tim Tebow try his hand at professional baseball! After leaving his football career Tebow turned to pro baseball and it was neat to watch a much talked about player take the field! </div>

We spent one afternoon at the Arizona State Fair. We had planned on coming to the fair, paying full entry and paying an extra fee on top of that to watch a concert that night. However in true Harper form we found out that we could bring in 4 canned items to the food bank to get in for free, which also then included free admission to the concert!! So needless to say what would have been a $178 day ended up costing only $17.48 - for all 9 of us!! So here we are holding our can filled bags!</div>

While we were walking around the wind was picking up and at around 8.30p the entire place went pitch black. All the power had gone out in the area, so everyone was left to find the main path back to the entrance in the dark. Too funny! The gardens had generators for the restaurant and for the main entrance, that came on immediately but that was the end of the evening for us!!</div>

Once again we enjoyed the Bingo day. This was by far the largest turnout we have ever seen at a park - about 200 people! And......they probably had the same amount of chocolate bars as well!!!<br />

We were each given 4 cards and each time we won we had to hand in our cards. This gave everybody a fair chance to win. Between the 6 of us playing we won 19 chockies !!!<br />

While we were staying at Morgan Hill at the beginning of our trip we met Vic and Cathy from Temecula, CA. We had such a lovely time visiting with them that when we were down in their area we were anxious to see them again. They graciously asked us over for dinner. And.....what a dinner it was!!! Thank you guys for such wonderful hospitality and a great evening!!<br />
