Now that was exciting

September 17, 2007 by admin 

Well, the 2nd trip in the motorhome went pretty much uneventful…  well sort of.  We went to Fort Collins on Friday.  Courtney played a softball game which we got to see.  She plays on the 7th/8th grade varsity team.  They won in 11 innings.  She spent 2 nights with us in the motor home. 

On Saturday we went to Keegan’s 1st football game.  He is a real hustler, plays on both defense and offense and is the kicker.  They did not win, lost 6-0 so it was a good game.  We had  a nice visit with the Lecher’s and went to dinner at Hibachi grill for Brandon’s 18th birthday. That boy loves his sea food.  Calamari and Salmon and sushi. Nate and friends went to the mountain paintballing on Sunday. 

Happy Birthday today to our oldest.  I wont even mention that just how old she is, but her baby boy says she is over 40.  Sorry Steph :)   Ashley will be 14 next Monday.  She caught up with Spencer pretty quickly. 

We went shopping in Ft Collins, and our new baby grand daughter got a couple of new outfits..  thanks to her aunt Wendy and her grandma.  We had fun.  Old Navy loved us. 

Now to the not so exciting part of the motor home.  The beast is in Wheatland Wyoming and we had to have son-in-law Mike come and get us.  Seems there was smoke and fire coming out from under it.  Transmission fluid, hot manifold, and lots of other mechanic terms that meant we were not driving it back to Casper.  It is in a Ford place in Wheatland and the dogs and us are safely back in Casper.  Expensive toys.  wow and we still have not heard from the repair place what the problem is and when it will be fixed.  Probably get it back in time to winterize it and put it in the storage lot for the winter.  No not going to spend a long time south this winter yet. 

Enough rambling.  Glad the son made it back to the USA  yesterday.  Hello everyone in KS.

    Has to be very disappointing about the motorhome. I hope it is salvageable and that insurance does its part. Glad you got to spend some time with the kids before you burnt up.

    There is something about dad’s vehicles in Colorado. A Camary that burns up and now a motorhome… hmmm.

    Glad all are ok!
