Catching up on 2008 ... continued

April ~ May 2008 "OUR ROAD TRIP"
We went to Moab, Utah for the 16th Annual April Action Car Show. We go to enjoy the show and spend time with our friends, the Martins and Stams. The Martins have "classic" cars and display them at the show. It is fun to sit with them at the show and visit between our strolls throughout the park. The show is held at a big park and the cars are fun to look at. At night the cars go up and down main street and that is also fun to see. It was fun to have Rusty with us on this portion of our road trip.

After a few days in Moab we left for Kingman, Arizona. We just spent the night there and then ventured on to the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. On our way we did some Geo caching ~ quite fun!! The desert flowers were beautiful. Yes we went out on the "Glass Bridge". No we weren't scared and the view was amazing.

Then onward to Las Vegas. Enroute we stopped at the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. The Dam is such a powerful structure. Years ago we took Craig and Rusty on a tour through the Dam. There is new construction going on and no tours were available this trip.

We arrived in Las Vegas and stayed at the Excalibur for two nights. We had an awesome view of the strip. Nothing like Vegas....all the glitz and glamour. Craig, Heather, Madi, Harley and Miss Olivia arrived the next day. Grandma watched a movie with the girls while Bob, Craig and Heather went and played. We had a great time!!

We left Las Vegas in the morning for DISNEYLAND!!!! We arrived in Anaheim. What a great experience ~ Harley danced with her dance group "HIP" in Disneyland. We are so proud of you Har Har. Great Aunt Sandy and cousin Emilie came to see her perform and then we had dinner together. Sandy was in dance for years and she was impressed with Harley's perfomance too. She did a great job!

Harley you amaze us with your talent!!!!

Catching up on 2008

I started our blog in August and have procrastinated about it ever since. I am the Queen of unfinished projects ~ just ask my friend Linnea!

To catch up on 2008 ~ I thought it would be best to share a few highlights of the main events and pictures of each of those that happened. Now keep in mind that it will take me a few times on the computer to input everything so the order may get messed up.....not sure how to fix it either. I will just label each event as I do them.....you'll get the picture.

February 2008 ~ Yellowstone Trip

Bob and Glenda traveled to Yellowstone over President's Day. We went on a guided snowcoach excursion. What a blast! We saw animals galore and Old Faithful erupting. The snow was everywhere - tons of it. While eating at the Three Bear Restaurant the hotel connected to it caught on fire. We were evacuated and hadn't even taken one bite! It was a fun winter getaway.


Easter 2008

Bob and Craig

Yes ~ that is our Heather!!

She is better than most the guys.

Heather & Glenda

We went to the Sand Dunes ~ Craig and Heather & the girls took their brand new toy hauler. We stayed in their trailer and I was sold!!! When we came home I went and purchased a travel trailer that same week. We had a great time riding our 4 wheelers and being with the kids. Isn't it amazing that the Easter Bunny can find you no matter where you are?

"Our Granddaughters"

The Easter Bunny was good to them!!

We went to the Dunes again to ride our 4 Wheelers ~

This time with our beautiful new trailer ~ it is awesome!

Our trailers and campsite.

There is nothing in this world we would rather do than to spend time with our children and granddaughters. Going camping together could only be improved if we could do it permanently and have Rusty come along! When we get to whichever destination it may be we always have a good time and enjoy one another's company. Having a travel trailer has made these journeys just that much more enjoyable! To Craig, Heather, Madi, Har-Har and Miss Olivia ~ thank you so much, we love you to pieces!!

Grandpa and the girls!
