A change in plans!

I have no pictures to post as I have been so busy getting ready to go on our trip.
We did have a pretty much last minute change of plans, as you know we were going to north western Idaho then back home through Yellowstone,
Now were headed to the Puget sound in Washington, and I am so excited. The whales are in the sound. The fishing sounds like its good (according to the guy Mitch talked to at the charter service) Its still early enough in the season that the campgrounds are not full. So it should be a wonderful trip
Hopefully I will have Wifi along the way so I will be able to post some updates and if not I will be gone till after the 16Th.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had a busy weekend here's what we got done

1. grass planted in the back yard

2. cement poured in 2 spots

3. tomatoes and peppers planted in the garden

4. flowers planted in barrels, boxes and around the pond

5. grass mowed and fertilized in the front

6. fifth wheel cleaned, packed ready to go.

plus I went on a 2 hour scooter ride on Sat with Shawna and Debbie which was so much fun I now have 90 miles on my scooter, had to go fill up with gas and it cost me $4.00 bucks, which didn't hurt at all.

I have a new tenant to my pond, a frog has moved in. We haven't seen him yet but boy can we hear him. If his chirping (not sure if that's what frogs do) is an indication of how happy he is then he is one happy frog.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelle came and spent the night Friday, and despite the fact that she didn't feel well, we had a great time. She helped Grandpa wash grandmas truck apparently the truck is grandmas cause grandma always picks her up in it, according to her.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 days and we are out of here. All I have left to do is buy groceries for the fifth wheel and we are ready to go. I have been taking Rocky out to the fifth wheel everyday so that he will be accustomed to being in there so he will be comfortable on our trip. He loves the trailer so I expect he will do great.

The wind in my hair!

My new scooter

Finally my new scooter arrived on Wed with some assembly required, by the time we got home Wed night after having to take the fifth wheel back to the dealer because after they fixed the fridge it wasn't working ( was working when we took it in) It was to dark to finish assembly so Thursday night after going back over to pick up the fifth wheel (hopefully fixed this time) We actually got it together and I got to take it for a ride. I love it.

Shawna and I are going to start our own scooter gang, We will have to start thinking of a name.

Kolby is coming to visit this weekend. We have really missed her not being around.

A holiday weekend!

Hail on the deck on Friday, glad I hadn't planted any veggies

This is some pretty cute laundry

Lizzy has got this crawling thing down, and discovered the dogs water bowl which is way to much fun to play in. I was trying to get the laundry done . This lasted about 2 minutes.

Over the weekend the weather sucked it was cold and wet and windy. We were glad we hadn't decided to go camping as we would of probably froze our butts off.

So we ended up going for a drive and ended up in Denver. We drove into Estes Park and had hopes of coming home through Rocky Mountain National Park. But there having the same Snow there that we are having here and have been unable to clear the road. We ended up taking the scenic route home down highway 7 over to I-70 then up 40 through Grandby and Steamboat. If Colorado ends up with a quick warm up they are really have a lot of snow to come down and the rivers are already full.
