Bob left for Russia...

Bob left for Russia Friday, August 15th, in the morning. He had a VERY long flight ahead for him to get there. It took quite awhile, but thankfully for him, he slept just about most of the way there. He called me from Chicago before he left there for the next flight to Russia. All was well then. Then he called me Saturday afternoon to let me know that he made it there safely. I was VERY happy to hear from him then. We all miss him terribly and can't till he is back home safely!!!

Family Camping trip to Lake Billy Chinook, OR.

We went to Lake Billy Chinook and camped for 5 days before Bob left for his trip to Russia. We had a GREAT time there camping, boating, tubing, and seeing all the beautiful sites there to see. Christina brought her life long friend from WA, Stevi Strahan. We can't wait to go camping again! We had a blast!!!

The crazy drive to AZ...

We had a CRAZY drive to AZ! We ran into all different kinds of weather and situations. It got as hot as 117*, with the humidity feeling like 100%! John drove his car and we drove the van. John's cars air conditioning did not work. I felt really sorry for him! Everyone that drove with John seemed to keep their cool. Well, sort of! Christina kind of lost it at times! Hehehe Jessica kept having bloody noses, so Christina told her to use a tampon because we were out of tissues. I guess it was still being used for what it was made for. KINDA! Thankfully it was a good drive with NOTHING bad. We all made it safely to AZ. Lake Shasta was down a lot due to the water shortage in CA.

Horseback riding in Williams, AZ...

Bob and the kids went horseback riding in the morning. The stables were just outside of our hotel room there in Williams, AZ. They had a lot of fun and really loved their horses. Jessica LOVES horses and wants to live on a farm when she grows up and says she wants a LOT of horses there.

Williams, AZ...

We stopped in Williams, AZ, which is where the old ROUTE 66 hwy goes through. So we "GOT OUR KICKS" on Route 66 I guess you can say.
