Saturday, October 30 - Family and getting Organized

 

Thursday

We messed around the house most of the morning.

I was doing laundry, and trying to move things around to make them more easily accessible.

Jesse was trying to get the Satellite set-up. He was able to get the TV in the living room connected, but not in the bedroom.

We went to breakfast at Crackle Barrel but is was noon time. Then we went over to see Adam at his new house. He was ripping out carpet and preparing walls for paint. It is a very nice house and we wish them many happy times there.

We then went to Home Depot and Walmart to pick up some items we need. We found TP holder and towel ring at Home Depot, while a new shower head was purchased at Walmart.

For dinner I made Panini sandwiches.

Friday

We met Beth, Ryan, Kacie and Colt for lunch. We had a really good visit with them.

We went to Walmart again to purchase some items for our Halloween costumes.

We met Beth, DJ, Kacie and Colt at Colt's school for their Halloween Fair.

It was very cute for the children. They had many different booths for kids to play games.

Our Blue Dragon

Kacie, Goldie Locks

We had hot dogs and chips for dinner at the fair. Then returned home to relax and watch TV.

Saturday

We stayed home until it was time to go to Beth's for her Halloween party. Jesse worked on putting the pump for the air bed in the compartment where the slide mechanism is located.

I made pasta salad and deviled eggs to take to the party.

Here we are Jesse is a Hippie and I am a Gypsy. I thought my costume was befitting our life style.

The young people played the limbo

Then everyone played Mummy wrap. We had to take toilet paper and wrap our team mate up like a mummy using the whole roll. It was a lot of fun.

After eating we all went outside to sit by the campfire and star gaze.

We returned home way after RV midnight of 9:00pm.

Wednesday, October 27 - Travel Day to Pueblo

 

We didn't unhook last night so we had very little to pack up, therefore we were ready to leave this morning at 7:30am. We traveled the 1st 2 hours on I-70 then US 40. Making our way to US 287, then onto CO 96, then US 50 into Pueblo.

If we are spending more then a few days somewhere we usually call for reservation, but for some reason neither of us thought to do so until today. I called and was told that she was not at the campground, so she was not sure if she had anything and wouldn't return until 3pm.

When we arrived at 2pm after 364 miles we sat and waited for her to return at 3:30. She was able to move a few reservations and fit us in. We are right in front of the horse corral, but it's okay.

While we were waiting I called Adam and Elizabeth to let them know we had arrived. I spoke to Adam, but left a message for Elizabeth.

Adam and Kim stopped by after they had gone to a teachers conference for Gage. They just bought their home and have been working very hard on it. They needed to pull out all the carpet, pads, and wall paper, afterwards they need to paint, then the new carpet will be installed. They both have homes to sell and we wish them much success at doing so quickly. Having three mortgage payments would not be fun. 

After they left Jesse and I were very tired. We didn't want to go out, so I just made turkey sandwiches. We watched Survivor and Criminal Minds before going off to bed.

Tuesday, October 26 - Travel Day

 

We left Hannibal at 8am traveled 473 miles and arrived at Fossil Creek RV Park in Russell, Kansas at 5:15pm.

It was a long drive today but we will be in Pueblo tomorrow.

While Jesse was hooking up this morning he had trouble with the landing gear, they just stopped. It blew two 30amp fuses. Thank goodness we had some and even knew where they were. He replaced them and we were back in business.

We have found a leak under the sink. It's located at the joint between the ABS pipe and the flexible drain line.

We will call Keystone once we get into Pueblo to find out where to take the new Kram-a-lot to have it corrected.

After getting set-up I heated some leftovers, made a salad and we ate dinner.

The rest of the evening we just watched TV and computered.
