I am always amazed at how fast time gets away from me! It has been over a month since I took time to blog...Not for lack of subjects but lack of drive to actually put my words down.... Well since I left NY in January we have seen most of the west! Big baby blue pulled out on January 26th and did not pull back in till February 21st! We started our journey in Louisianan where some awesome people took us to New Orleans! I must say it was a great experience!We went to Indian for a lunch buffet and then we walk the streets of the french quarter! We got to sit at Cafe cabul and have a cup of coffee and what I would say was fried dough! Then we walked some more, stopped to watch a magician and got up close to what we thought was a guy dressed up and was just a tin man! It was a fun time had by all! As it got dark and we walked back to the bus you sure could feel the change in the people that come out!
After Louisiana we took off for Texas! Oh boy! It is a HUGE state! We were there for a week and got to experience warm and very cold weather!!! The first day it was 70 and nice,the next we woke to ice on the palm trees!! While we were there the sickness took hold(and is still holding strong) ...
So after hanging out there we took off for Arizona!! I must say it was nice and warm but there is nothing green out there! Unless you call cactus and nice kind of green! We stayed with family while there and picked up grandpa! It was a great week of relaxing and watching cousins play!
We ot to make some great memories and I had a blast watching the family got along! From there we took off down the highway (without MR) to Oklahoma! It was a adventurous trip! We got a ways down the road a look out to see the awning coming undone....So Grandpa pulled over and the guys got out to fix it..Well there was some very strong wind that day and it was pulling them off the ground..So I saw the predicament and got out of the bus to help hold it down ...Well it just would not roll back up! So Caleb went looking for just the right tool to hit it with when a strong wind came up and took Jared( who was on one side by himself) up off the ground! I yelled Caleb go help Jared,So he leaps into action(literally) and dives up to save Jared....when SNAP he brakes the pole that was holding one side out! So we all burst into action..Jared got a knife and climbs on the top of the bus and cuts the tarp off so the metal wont kill us! It was a memory that shall last a lifetime! We did end up leaving a $1000 piece to the awning on the side of the road cause we had no way to strap it safely to the bus!
Well I shall tell more of our travels soon
Love to you all!
