No need to say anything…….It’s like being in the movie cars!
Trying to get from one spot to another and get these boys to finish up their school work is a harder challenge that I anticipated. Any suggestions because if I don’t find a system….I may not come home with four boys!
Today we got up and pulled out in 35MPH wind gust. Boys had to wear seat belts and I was white knuckling for awhile. How on earth do those Semi trucks go so fast. In spite of the wind, we made it to the Meteor Crater. The wind gust prevented us from hiking the rim but we saw it and hung out in the museum. I felt like we were on a field trip. It was cool. By the time we left the wind was gusting at 70MPH…Yikes! I’ve gotta say…I could drive a simi..hehehee! Well, I may be able to drive it but don’t ask me to gas it. Doesn’t everybody try to fill their diesel rig while the engine is running. oops!
We went to the Grand Canyon. I liked hiking down it and climbing rocks. I got a junior ranger badge.
But the scariest thing was on the way home.
On the way home from the Grand Canyon our train was robbed. I saw hoeses with cowboys running after the train. They had mask on. We were walking from the café car and we hid from the robbers. They were stealing money. Then second robber saw us and were going throw Preston off the train after they stole money. It was very scary. The marshal came to save us. He put the robbbers in jail.
Boarding the train to the Grand Canyon
The blog should show up on Facebook thanks to Cindo!!!!
Never measure life by how many breathes you take but by how many moments take your breathe away….clearly whoever said this was looking at the Grand Canyon!
We were on our way the the Grand Canyon Railway RV park and I was telling a story I saw on 20/20 about a woman and the daughter and friend getting lost in death valley. They went down a dirt road and were lost for 3 days. Can’t common sense help you in those situations???? Well not even an hour later we get off the 40 and are driving through a tiny town…doesn’t feel right! When the GPS tells us to turn down a dirt road…..we stop!
Apparently, I put the wrong address in! Made a call and got ol’Bessy turned around. I don’t think that will be the first detour we take!
I’m doing well. I got to see the super cross championship it was so cool and when the race was over confetti shot out of the building and fire works were every where! That was fun but my next stop is the grand canyon. I’m really exited, I think we get to take a hike down it. I get to take a train from our r.v park to the grand canyon .
Its 6:12 in the morning, Ami is blogging, I’m drinking my coffee, and 2 out of 4 boys are farting in the top bunk.
Nana is here on the first leg of my trip…She jumps in the drivers seat of the motorhome and says my turn! I’m driving. I go to the back of the motorhome to make sure the car tow system is working as we pull out….I’m waiting and waiting…she’s taking her time, I am thinking. So I go to check on her. As I open the door and step on the step the motorhome moves…eek…I quickly shut the door and run back to car….and wait nothing is happening. I give up and go to the passengers cab door this time. I jump in the passenger seat to find nana with a perplexed look on her face. “Hmmm” she says…. When I ask her what’s wrong, she informs me the motorhome is broken. When she puts it in drive it goes in reverse.
“Well nana…..if you turn the motorhomes engine on it will work properly!” We laugh and pull out!
