Day 1 Grandma
1. Most thankful for: How well our group has gotten along & everyone has bought into the trip & doing their part to make it happy & comfortable & pleasurable for everyone else
2. Anxiety relief over finding gas – not at $4 & how tight it was going to feel – all of that was alleviated yesterday.
3. Favorite sight: Grayson sighting the oil wells.
4. Favorite moment: Riding with Toni & talking while she rode beside me
5. Favorite activity: walking around the very empty campground after a very long day in the RV
6. Other: Pleased with our progress & our trip planning.
How engaged David is with the activities we brought to keep the boys busy. Watching what a great dad he is (again)
Toni
1. Favorite Sight: Gabe & Grayson having a ball at an awesome park
2. Favorite moment: Hearing EVERYONE sing in the RV to Johnny Cash
3. Favorite activity: Watching the kids color in their states as we crossed state lines & doing a “line dance” for each state line!
Other: Grayson sleeping for three hours
About ½ way to the campground, we stopped at a park. Oh Lord are we thankful for the GPS. We entered the name of the park & it took us right to the park. I found this park on the Internet. & it said it was an award winning park. It had great climbing wall, a zip line that Gabe & Grayson both went on. There was an Alice In Wonderland theme. There was a hole that you climbed through that lead into a tunnel. There were great swings we all used & hills & slides. We only saw part of the park. Well, it was amazing! I will attach some pictures from the park. The boys had a great time! It was a much needed & well deserved break. We fixed sandwiches & got back in our seats & Lucy – the GPS - got us back on the road.
The first campground was quiet with only 1 other camper in our whole loop. We got the boys out and on their bikes. It was an amazing first day. We saw lots of beautiful mountains, greenery & rivers. We all had been through all of it until we got into Indiana. Gabe, Grayson and David all added this state. Grayson we all know is a great “spotter.” In Indiana near our campground, there were a lot of oil wells drilling in the pastures & huge irrigation systems on wheels along the road. Grayson would say there's another one, and we would look and look & finally see one WAY off in the corner of a field. Gabe kept us entertained with singing & lots of questions.
That night, it poured. There was a huge thunderstorm.
What an experince for you all..especially Gabe and Grayson! Hppy trails to you all.
