Visiting Sierra Vista, Arizona - Home Sweet Home!

Several Mountain ranges surround Sierra Vista. The picturesque setting confirms its Spanish name meaning Mountain View (Sierra Vista)! This picture was taken out in Hereford where my sister Karisa, her husband Justin and their four kids reside! They live on eight acres and enjoy having their peace and quiet (outside the house that is) and no neighbors. Talk about the middle of nowhere, but it sure is beautiful.

Keira hanging from the bar! My kids were so excited to play at this fun park. It is way too hot to go outside and play in Mesa!
This is Carson with Papa Bear's crazy bird, Gobo Fango! Gobo is a DOUBLE YELLOW-HEADED AMAZON bird! This bird is a hoot! Gobo sings, cries, laughs, screams and talks non stop and it all sounds just like a human! Gobo loves when the grand kids come around and competes with them to see who can be more noisier. We love this bird!

Carson and cousin Taylor! Peace!
My little swim baby, Keira!
Carson loves going to Papa's house to play with his remote control truck! Papa has two big empty dirt lots next to his house and Carson will drive the truck over there until its battery dies! Papa has learned to have the truck charged and ready for when Carson arrives!

Sierra Vista is located 75 miles Southeast of Tucson. The city is adjacent to the Fort Huachuca Army Base, an active and historical Military Base. I grew up as an "Army Brat", and the military is what brought my parents to Sierra Vista. My Dad (Papa Bear) has since retired from the Army and has never left Sierra Vista. My sister Karisa and husband Justin moved back to Sierra Vista four years ago. Papa Bear treated us to a real good time while in Sierra Vista. He took us out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings, Texas Road House and of course Peter Piper Pizza. Papa even cooked us a nice meal too! The kids enjoyed playing outside in Papa's yard, riding around in his truck, playing his Playstation 3, watching movies, hanging out with the Haymore cousins and going to visit Bisbee! Thanks Papa for spoiling us on our fun trip to Sierra Vista. We will be back soon!
