"OUR TRAVELS" UPDATED

10/30/08
Left the Hermansen home :( at nine o'clock. In Payson, UT we paid $2.49 a gallon for gas, the cheapest yet. I could not carry on my blog last week because we had decided to change our travel plans and drive to Peoria AZ to see Donna and their new baby and wanted to surprise them. UTAH is such a beautiful part of the United States in the fall. All the trees were bright golden, red, or orange. At 4:45 p.m. we arrived at Thousand Trails Las Vegas. Oh, the smog was horrible! Have not seen smog for a long time. I think we are spoiled living in the Northwest.

Halloween day and Bryce Pasero's birthday! We arrived at the Hanchett's home at 5:24 p.m., after getting the motor home out of an awkward stuck position not far from their home. Luke Michael is so precious! Donna had just gotten home 2 hours before our arrival! I am so glad that we are here. He is perfect in every way!

So sunny!!! It did not cool down until 2 or 3 a.m. I sewed some darkening curtains for the motor home bedroom windows just because of the light and heat here. And they worked!

SUNDAY:
Mike's cousin and wife and children stopped by for a little while with lunch for the family. Then at 4:30 p.m. or so Denise & Jesse Pearson and their three boys came for dinner. We had bbq'd chicken breasts and wings, homemade fries, salad and corn, then a delicious chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. We heard the children playing the whole time, except when they were outside. My, when they get together these 6 children are loud! It was a fun, full day. We were all exhausted. Jake, Zach and Sarah fell asleep really fast tonight.

After a night up with baby Luke, Donna drove Luke and myself to the clinic for Luke's well check-up exam and although he has a little touch of jaundice, he passed.
