Yuma is said to be the hottest city in the United States. Allen's brother Bill, and his family live there. Now is a beautiful time of year in Yuma because it is not quite so hot YET. Actually, it was kind of pretty traveling to Yuma because the desert is in bloom. Lots of beautiful flowers along the road. There is a military base in Yuma and there happened to be an air show the day we came into town. Very fun to see the jets and very interesting to be on a military base. You don't get to do that every day!
Allen's brother is a teacher at the Yuma High School. We took a little tour to see where he works. Early on, in the school's history, there was a fire at the school. All the students had to attend a vacated prison while the school was being repaired and rebuilt. That is when they came up with the mascot name of...the CRIMINALS! I don't think there are many of those out there! There is a beautiful football field surrounded by the school buildings. The gates going into the field came right from the prison. Pretty cool. I often wonder if the kids at Yuma High School live up to their name - the criminals!!! Hope not! :)
