July 7: Zachary's Bar Mitzvah

The main reason we stayed in Arizona until July was to go to San Antonio for our grandson Zack's Bar Mitzvah.  We left the motorhome in SMR in the 110+ tempertures and drove by car to San Antonio. 





 


Zachary was absolutely marvelous during the two days of his Bar Mitzvah and did a superb job reading his prayers.  We are so very proud of him.













 
Robyn did a wonderful job planning the weekend.  Barb and I arrived in town about 4 days early to help her get everything all set up.  Our most difficult project which involved creativity was to figure out what to use for center pieces for the tables.  We spent one whole day going from craft store to craft store to wherever, to find just the right center piece.  We were so proud of ourselves, when we figured out a way to make the center piece.  After purchases at three different stores, we created a "masterpiece'.  It was a fun day!

The occasion was a wonderful reason for a family reunion.

Caroline and Ashley had a great time playing together.  They do not see each other very often so it was nice to see them re-connect.
