Pictures at last...

Ok, ok, here are some pictures of our trip. I will be posting details of our RV do and do not's in the near future. The "day of poop" will be a prime example. We also had the "day of butts", but that mostly has to do with wild animals that don't want to smile for the camera.

Speaking of, I realized I left the sprinkler on all night, and when I came to turn it off, there was the local friendly mama raccoon, washing her hands in it and totally blocking it with her body. She must have been there half the night by the looks of things. I will post a picture of her later. Goofy coon. She's the primary reason we are not getting a bunny or chickens, probably ever, at least in this location.



This is Mt. Shasta from the RV window. It's huge!



These are all the kids that belong to myself and my cousin Alia. We're at Samuel P. Jackson State Park, not far from San Rafael and Pt. Reyes. The boy in green doesn't belong to either of us, he just came along for the ride and was at Alia's house when she came to see me. She brought pizza! Jonah (the daddy) came, too, but I didn't get a very good picture of him. He's awesome!
l-r: Grace, Kalea Grace, Naia, Brandon, Gabe, Dominic, Sage, Isaia, and Kili.

These pictures are taking a coon's age to load, so I will load more later while I'm correcting papers. I even made them not-so-large, and it still take forever. Argh! I have so many pictures to show you!

We're back!

Hello Everybodeeee!

I will post pictures after I get out from under large piles of things I should do now and not later. The trip was exactly what I hoped, I got to see everyone I wanted to see, and it was really really busy. We learned a LOT about RVing, so if anyone wants to know, we have a few ideas how not to drive yourself crazy. The kids had a great time, too, but we are enduring some post-vacation blues right now. The baby wants me in sight at all times, day and night, Brandon is a teeny bit off but mostly tired, Gabe is ok, just wants to go see his friends, and Grace wants the RV back right now. She's the crankiest, but it was the same on vacation, too. Three-year-old girl syndrome, I think.

Francis got the BEST pictures! They belong on postcards. The weather was super sunny most of the time, and I loved being back in Mendocino and surrounding areas for the first time in about six-seven years. It was glorious.

There's no place like home!
Both homes.
