Christmas Lights in North Ranch

Hello Family & Friends,

It has been chilly again in Arizona -- not like the Midwest with all the snow, etc. but for us "snowbirds" seeking warmer temps, we are day chilling to the upper 50's and low 60's by 2pm and then the night cool down, thank goodness Santa brought us an early present of an electric blanket.

North Ranch is home to avid Christmas light decorators and I hopped in the UTV with Carole (a lady from pickleball) and we toured the park in search of lights!  Here's a few we captured out and about -- it was cooled and windy but we enjoyed it all the same.

Festive lights set the mood --

My UTV lights were on so not as pretty a shot, I should have doused the headlights but didn't want to get run over, next time I will.

There are drainage ditches in the park and we have inflatable Snoopy and little Woodstocks floating in the ditch.

And on the other side is Steam Boat Mickey inflatible.

As we headed around the campground we found this house with multiple inflatables ---

A "spam can" RV with Santa popping out the door and a North Pole Helicopter with Santa at the controls to mention a few -- it was quite decorative.

This is just a few, there were lots of the spotlight displays on garage doors, walls and sparkling trees.  There is a Holiday parade on Sunday where decorated forms of transportation travel around the park on every street.  We enjoyed this last year and plan to sit out and watch it again this year!  It is pretty awesome.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,
Susan & Darrel
