2/20/2015 Winter Olympics – Day 5

(Arizona City, AZ)

Today a new game to our Winter Olympics is being played.  Wii Bowling.  Two couples have set up their Wii games for play.  There are so many who wanted to play it’s a good thing there are two set ups.

While this was fun to take the pictures of, afterwards I noticed that everyone had the same pose in the end.  Look and see for yourself.






Man or woman, it didn’t matter!

Now some players really followed through!




I was one of those!

 

I’m going to have get our Wii set up to play bowling so I can practice this.  I didn’t too well.

The other big event this fifth day is putting on the mini golf course.  You had to get the ball within the circle for any points at all.


Of course there had to be that rock hazard!

Bob taking his shot at it.

 

The spectators or ones waiting their turns, watched every move.

Another event today was the basketball shoot.

 

 

Such concentration.








While I was sitting here watching the shoot and taking pictures I noticed my friend Marilyn’s watch.  I had to chuckle, it seems she broke the band and her husband fixed it for her.  Duct tape is good for EVERYTHING!

Today was a really fun day in our Winter Olympics.

2/19/2015 Winter Olympics – Day 4

(Arizona City, AZ)

You may have noticed that there was no pictures for Day 3.  Those activities, quite frankly, just didn’t have any appeal to me.  Euchre and Bridge, which are card games and Cribbage which has a board and little pegs and maybe a deck of cards.  Sorry players, not enough action for me.

So today was Shuffleboard again, the second session.








The lady playing is Betty Warren, she is my partner and one of my favorite people here in Quail Run.

I’ve only played shuffleboard a few times this year, I’m not that good at it but I do enjoy playing it.

2/17/15 Winter Olympics Day 2

(Arizona City, AZ)

Several events today, some that I just took pictures of and some that I actually competed in and still took the pictures.

The day started off with Men’s Horseshoes.

The Supervisors!

Then it was time for Ladies Horseshoes.

 

This is one I played in.


As you can see we had the perfect day to be outdoors.

I gave my camera to my friend Jodee to take the pictures.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this one.

 

Next came Shuffleboard.  This event is played over two days because there are so many players.

 

 

Men’s Pool was played in the evening hours.








Pool can make one develop a huge thirst, so the guys come prepared.




I took a ton of pictures today!

2/16/15 Winter Olympics Week Day 1

(Arizona City, AZ)

Before I get into these days of the Winter Olympics I want to share this picture with you.  In all the years we’ve been here now I’ve never seen this.  A daffodil growing the in desert, next to a cactus!



Well I have been running around like crazy.  Since I am the un-official photographer for Quail Run I’ve been taking photos of all the events as they happen.

BUNCO was very big this year.  This is one of my favorites to play.






I didn’t win enough games to even think I might have been eligible for a medal this year.

The next popular event here in this park is Dominoes or Mexican Train.

 

The last event this first day was Ladies Ping Pong.

 

 

Its going to be a busy week for me!
