What a Beautiful SUnday!

What a beautiful Sunday. 13 years ago I was having my baby girl and now she is 13! Wow how the time did fly. We don’t have a lot to do today since we are waiting for Haley to come home from her amazing weekend with her friend. We are still making final arrangements for Spring Break and need to get everything organized for the first camping trip of the year. One thing we should do is go and get our travel trailer from storage so it can be cleaned again and all packed up. I was the one person who had to be talked into the travel trailer. We love it now and the memories we have made with it are priceless.  Without the travel trailer I don’t know that we would have gone on as many adventures.  I know we would not have been able to stay away from home as long as we did over the major Covid summer. Brian was laid off and obviously all my kids’ activities were canceled so off we went on Rt. 66 toward the Grand Canyon!  We spent a week in Utah doing several of their state parks and then had plans to stay on both sides of the Grand Canyon, but they had a forest fire that actually ended up going right through our campground on the North Side the night we would have been there. We could actually see the fire glowing from several miles away at a campground we found. We ended up being gone for 28 days and enjoyed all the family time. My kids didn’t realize how bored all their friends were at home.  We were totally safe since we just carried our home with us and we even kept a little water in the trailer so we didn’t need to go in to use the bathroom at gas stations. I think the kids will mostly remember the rafting trip in Utah, bike ride at the Grand Canyon and the several hikes we took.  I even made them each a photo book to always remember some of our adventures. Still debating if after church we should go get it or not. It takes up a lot of space in our driveway!  The weather is perfect for so many things!
