I am sure some of you have been waiting with baited breathe to find out what has happened over the past few days, thank you for your patience. We have been doing great in our new RV. What a difference shocks can make on driving in windy areas and having breaks has been an extra special treat. There were some added bonuses as well: I have a closet door now so all of my stuff doesn’t fly out when we round corners (we call those noises our golf clubs), the air conditioner doesn’t freeze up and the sink does not leak [View Full Entry]

7/11-14/2008 We finally got to see our good friends the Botts. I was going through withdraw from not riding but they saved me! I got to ride. We went on pretty trail rides, roped, and relaxed.

Sunday morning we woke and decided that since we were going to be moving camp sites around noon we would just stick around camp, try to get organized (we are still trying to find places for everything) and just relax until it was time to move. We had Blueberry and Strawberry poptarts for breakfast (the first time, I think, that Little Z had them). They were very fruity and tasty and we found that the little bit that wasn’t eaten made for a good snack when we got back from Throwing Rocks in the Water. Little Z loves to throw [View Full Entry]
