December in AZ

It was a good weekend for some adventures. Sunny and high 70s in Arizona... two weeks before Christmas. Me and Shaw popped in for a few minutes to see a Hot Wheels racing club. There is a hobbyist/enthusiast group that sets up in a mall parking lot once a month or so and you can bring whatever car you want and winner takes both cars. Shaw considered bringing a couple of cars for the next one but decided he couldn't risk losing one even if he MIGHT win one.
Spent a little time out at Fountain Hills. You can come up with your own caption for this one. We did have some spicy hot dogs for lunch at Chicagoland Dogs'n More...
It's one of three equally tall fountains in the world but each still claims to be the tallest when the others aren't listening. It's 560 feet tall and I've never been able to get a shot that does it any justice.
Downtown Mesa for an art and music festival.
If it was just an art and music festival, I probably couldn't have convinced Shaw to partake but there was a pretty cheesy/good juggling show that made him laugh and a couple of bouncy jumps to get the wiggles out and he had to trade me for a few songs in front of a steel drum reggae band and then a really good Latin jazz band and I got to talk to a few artists and craftsmen and craftswomen.
He's a handsome kid eh? This is just some of the architecture/water features at the Performing Arts Center here in Mesa.
