Oh my. I'm soooo sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time! We have been very busy, but now I will tell you of our adventures.
After Canada, We spent 5 days at Dan and Sarah Woods' house. We had a BLAST playing xbox, jumping on the trampoline,playing with the dogs, and well, not being in the camper!! Mom and Dad thoroughly enjoyed 'catching up' with Dan and Sarah. That Wednesday, we went to Seattle. Tessa came with us and we walked around downtown and Pike Place Market. We also bought Turkish Delight. Everyone liked it. If only Edmond Pevensey could have been there. :)
Thursday morning we left for Ben and Anna's house. We stayed there until Sunday morning. Friday we went to Crater Lake. Dad, Josiah and Nathan hiked a bit, while me, Mom and Noah stayed behind and sipped hot drinks in the cafe ( we were congested and hiking just wouldn't have been the best thing to do). On saturday morning, Anna, Mom, Dad and I went to the Saturday Market while Ben stayed and played games with the boys. That night we went to a local brewery for dinner.
Sunday morning we drove down to California to see Greg, Kimberly and Iris Young. We drove through the Redwoods, and Noah said, "Dad? Are we in ANOTHER National Park?" WE all laughed heartily. We arrived around 10pm, got all of our stuff out of the car, and made our way inside. We all slept well that night, and I woke up to Iris 'talking. Monday we spent taking pictures, playing basketball, and just relaxing. We were all sad when we had to leave the next morning. :(
We made it to Ben and Anna's on Tuesday night, and ordered pizza for dinner. The next morning, we drove back to the Woods' house to pick up the trailer. Now, we are back on the road again.
After Washington, we dove to Pocatello, Idaho where Dad ran a marathon. The next 2 days we spent driving to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Dad ran his CO marathon this morning, and we all enjoyed relaxing. Tomorrow, we will visit the Denver Mint and Focus on the Family. Wednesday we pack up for Kansas. We will spend 3 days in Kansas. After Kansas, we drive to Charles City, Missouri, and after Missouri, we head back to Michigan. We plan on arriving back home late September 18th. We can't wait to see everyone!
Happy Kampers signing off! :)
Hello Happy Campers! I have LOVED reading your posts. Your Dad sure has been running alot of marathons. How much weight has he lost (smile)? I look forward to seeing you all soon. Should I save your assignments or email them to you??? HUGS!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I really understand Noah's comment about "another national park." I felt that way in Italy (and felt guilty I felt that way) because every city began looking the same: cathedral, duomo, etc. I remember saying to Mr. Rardon, "Another cathedral?" (Smile!)
