We are happy to report that Great-Grandma Bobbie has come through a very long but successful surgery and has a nice big plate and two screws on her leg bone now. She will not be allowed to bear weight for 2 whole months while she does rehab. The break was really bad.

We had big plans for this weekend. We are doing another 2-night camper adventure up in northern AZ. It means the difference between 110 and 84 degrees for a high, 90 vs 55 for the overnight low.

Bill was able to work a half day today so we could get on the road, we planned to be driving by 1PM. We decided to keep the boys up from napping and hope that they would nap in the car. Due to the nursing situation, my own tiredness, we were not as prepared as we hoped to be, so we didn’t get rolling until about 2:15PM.

Sleeping!! The little horseshoe pillows I made them even did the job well to keep them from folding in half while sleeping in a car seat.
We thought we had won the day!

Oh were we wrong. After driving for 3hrs, getting the trailer all set up, and starting to organize and feed the boys, we realized something was missing. Bill and I had used a big white laundry basket to put all of our stuff in, and it was still sitting happily on the bed at home. That is all of our clothes, undergarments, toiletries and medications. UGH. The boys’ stuff was all accounted for.

After discussing the possibility of Bill doing a round trip to get it, we determined that we had enough to get by if I could hit Walmart…. 34 miles away!! Trevor and I hit the road. We were lucky after all and within a mile of the trailer park, we found a Dollar general. I got shorts, tshirts, socks, underwear, a hairbrush, toothbrush, and deodorant for both of us. WHEW, disaster averted. What a mess!

Trevor immediately took to playing in the dirt, Brendan has a big problem with wanting to take off running to other trailers, he has to learn how to behave around parking lots.

Trevor helped Daddy to hook up the water lines.
