Made it to Pocatello, loving our grand kids now.

We left this morning at around 10:30 and drove over to Pocatello.  As we drove across Southern Idaho to get to our kids' house the winds began to blow like usual but this time it really whipped like crazy and I'm sure it was gusting at least 60 to 70 MPH.  We stopped at a rest area so I could make up sandwiches for us and the wind blew so hard that it almost ripped the camper door right off the hinges when I tried to open it to get in.  Luckily I was holding on to it tight.
We've got our two cats with us Banjo and Willie because we're going to be gone for almost a month and we won't have anyone else staying in our camper with us so I wanted them to come along and not be left at home for so long.  Willie is getting real frail and Banjo isn't much further behind him so that's another reason I don't want them home.
Now we're here in Pocatello enjoying grand kids and our 8 year old grandson Ryker has grown about 4 inches in the last 3 months since we saw him.  He's asked us if he could sleep out in the camper with us and so we're taking him out there to sleep on our couch since we can't open the slides with the un-level place we're parked. 
Our son Tyler just left for his night shift work at Walmart and John's tired so we're going to head out to bed in a minute.
I'm glad to be here and excited for this next month as we get to see our grand daughter Tori in her school play tomorrow, then see our grandson Jeff off as he heads to his mission in St. Louis, and after that we're meeting up with the Limehouse's to go to the Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival.  We get to take Tori our 15 year old grand daughter with us and her brother Tanner who's 13.  Both are old enough that we won't have to babysit them and can enjoy the festival with them.  So we're looking forward to this next month.


After the 4th of July then we get to keep the grand kids who live here in Pocatello, Pyper, Ryker, and Greisyn for the next 6 weeks of summer and we'll bring them home the end of August.   I love it!
