Fun, Fun Fun!!

Fun, Fun Fun!!

Thursday, July 7 - Finally Rain (CS, CO)

 

Tuesday was the busiest day at the office I have had since I came to work here. The phones never stopped the whole day. People in and out of the office along with many people checking in. The RV’s were lined up from the office to the entrance. Thanks to Charlie who came to help me and I was very thankful!

Once Jackie came in I still had calls to return and paperwork to finish. I guess she also had a busy evening.

Wednesday I worked 12-6. Things were back to normal steady but not crazy.

Today was my day off. I got showered and dress and headed to Canon City to get a few groceries. I hadn’t had anything to eat so I stopped in Subway and got a foot long to bring home and share with Jesse.

After putting away the perishables I took the boys for their afternoon walk. Jesse still wasn’t home when we returned. He planned to try and get off at lunch time so we could go for a ride in the Mazda.

I sat down to eat my lunch and he came in just as I was finishing. He sat and ate his lunch, took a shower and the five of us took off. The boys seemed to like the new car just fine. As usual Buddy and Mr. B laid down and went to sleep and Bayer sat in the middle between the front seat and watched out the windshield.

We stopped at Dairy Queen in Canon City for a milkshake.

We took a ride to the Royal Gorge. We had not planned on going in and it’s a good thing because it had started to rain.

It rained a little on the way back to the Campground. We saw signs that we had gotten some at the campground, which we needed, but it was not raining now.

Jesse walked the boys and I ironed our clothes for dinner.  All of a sudden the skies opened up and dumped lots of rain on us. We were meeting the family in Pueblo for dinner at Carino's Italian restaurant and it rained the whole way there. we saw lots of lightening.

This was sort of a celebration. DJ was accepted in the voluntary fire department, which can lead to a permanent position which is something he really wants, also Beth’s new job at Kaiser Permanente, which she really likes.

I took these pictures with my phone camera so they are not real good.

My food was just okay, most thought the food was good, but the service was terrible!!!!  It will be a long time before we go back there. The worst part, because we were a large group they added 18% gratuity to our bill and the service was barley worth 10%.

It was after 9 by the time we got home. We had recorded Big Brother, so we watched the show. I think it will be a fun summer!

As Ed would say “Life is good”.

Monday, July 4th – Independence Day and Search is done (CS, CO)

 

July 4th-2

Today is our Nations Birthday it’s 235 years old

H  A  P  P  Y    B  I  R T  H D  A  Y  !!!!!!

Today Jesse dressed for work, showed up and was informed to take the day off.

Since I did go in until 2pm we decided to go into the Spring to continue our search for a vehicle.

Our 1st stop was Cracker Barrel for breakfast. We were not sure if the car dealers were open today, so we noticed a Kia dealer right across the street, we figured if they were open so were all the rest.

We stopped in and were met by Paul. Jesse talked to him and he showed Jesse a Mazda 3 hatchback (zoom, zoom). Now this was not one of the cars we came to look at, but it is what Jesse was trying to find on line and couldn’t, so he was thrilled. (well as thrilled as Jesse could be … :~) Ha Ha (he doesn’t show emotions very much).

We both test drove it and Jesse was finished..This is just what he wanted. We got a good deal about $2,000 under blue book. We went in did the paperwork and I drove the Mazda back to the campground just in time for me to go to work.

I only worked 4 hours, it was very slow for a change.

I made Jesse and I a grilled chicken salad for dinner and we relaxed for the rest of the night watching fireworks on TV.

 

Saturday, July 2 - Trike Rally, Visit from Family & Travel Day (CS, CO)

 

On this July 4th weekend we had a Trike rally staying at the campground. They were a really nice group and very friendly. They had some really beautiful bikes.

This group invited EVERYONE in the campground to join their festivities, they had a band on Friday night and on Saturday they had all kinds of contest that were lots of fun.

Saturday was our day to travel. We moved next door from site 76 to site 75, a site with shade. It was the shortest travel day yet!  We moved about 25 feet!! I had everything inside ready before going off to work at 7am. Jesse was thrilled that the people in site 75 left very early. He started to move all our outside items over.

I was a little concerned that he had to back up without a spotter, so I asked one of the full time residents at Mountaindale to go and help him, knowing he would not ask for help, but he had already moved by that time.

WE LOVE OUR NEW SITE!!

Beth, DJ, Kacie, Gage and Colt came up to cookout and visit with us. I didn’t get off of work until 2pm, so it was a mad rush to make the inside look like home, make some potato salad and be prepared for guest by 4pm..but we got it done.

I was able to relax and just sit and visit with them. We had a rain/hail storm that only lasted about 15-20 minutes, but it really cool things off.

We walked down to the ice-cream social at 7pm and we all had dessert. Then all but Kacie and I went for a walk, we stayed behind and visited.

It was a full day, but it was fun!!
