Ok, so as I start this, the thoughts are that it's going to be a long, long, LONG update on what has been going on and pics and all that good jazz. But I have a sinus headache, so we will see what we get.
So we headed to South Dakota... and we did in fact play the license plate game all the way... I think we only did not see a few states... like New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Seems those people in those small states think they have to take STAY-cations and just hang out at home. ;)
We saw all provinces of Canada, Mexico and the rest of the states. Yes, I am sure you wanted to know that. But we wrote them all down, so we have to share them someplace! ;)
So South Dakota was good. We saw my Aunt and her family there. We did lots of fun stuff and then headed out to Rapid City to see my Ellsworth gang. That was a blast too! We had a ton of fun, even if we were missing a few of our "gang".
It was such a SHORT time in SD... I wasnt able to see everyone I wanted to see. It was way too short. I felt bad for not being able to see everyone but what can ya do? I can't stop time!
So then we came home... dragging Aliegha along with us! She will be here until we move. Travis and Wenona and the other two girls will come down and help us move on the 15th... Hooray! One more box carrying body ;) (You want to help? Let me know!)
Only 3 days after we got home, we headed off to camp in the Pike National Forest. Looking thru my pics, I realize that we didnt take a pic of "camp" but it was a pretty nifty set-up. The only campsite that would and could hold two tents. Right on the Platte River... it was great. Cold at night, but great! The kids have had sooooo much fun! Jake, uhhh, not so much. He is not the camping type ;)
So then we got home and us adults were ready to fall down dead exhausted. But the two girls got invited to go camping again! And they went! In a cabin this time, and up in Golden Gate State Park (north of Golden). I talked to Iona yesterday and she was having a blast!
My bet is that they will collapse when they get home ;)
So, now I have been packing since I got home. We are moving down to a friends house August 15... and we are supposed to be camping a week in there... so umm I have like 2.25 weeks to pack this house... and clean it. talk about pressure!
Which means, my time on the net or my blog will be very very limited. I have to get stuff completed. Or else Houston has a problem ;)
Ummmm, I think that is all. It wasn't epic like I thought it might be...
Oh novel update... Jake has like 70 pages left in edit mode. Then I reread it... change a couple things... and out it goes... Weird but true.
Off to pack!
