Three down...

We spent a good part of this morning getting our things packed up and preparing the trailer to move to our next destination: right across the street. We managed to make it out before the 12:00 sign-out deadline, and we quickly set up in our new camping spot.

We had our third gig tonight in the main building of our hosting RV park. We were supposed to play after the community dinner that the park puts on once a month. As part of the deal, we all got to share the meal with the rest of the residents, and what a meal, all the spaghetti and sauce you could eat, garlic bread, and plenty of salad for everyone.

The show itself went quite well. The only casualty was a broken guitar string, quickly remedied by a guitar swap. The residents were very lively and quite vocal in their appreciation. It was wonderful to see the joy and gratitude that their faces expressed.

We have another performance coming up tomorrow playing at our aunt's retirement center. More updates on that coming soon...

Trailer Life and Concerts

We woke up this morning, all ready for showers, and only found one towel! I thought I had left all sorts of towels here last year. So, off to Walmart to buy towels and some cheap plates, since we didn't want to do all paper plates again this year. The afternoon was spent with Bryan doing payroll, me running to pick up completed CDs at my cousin-in-law's home, and the girls ironing wrinkled outfits for everyone. Oh, and back to Walmart since Greg's legs are getting longer than his pants. The RV park we are at told us to pick all the fresh fruit we wanted off the grapefruit, orange and lemon trees. They are delicious! Quick supper and off to Leaf Verde RV. We had a wonderful time with gracious and lovely people, most from cold climates enjoying the AZ sunshine. And for all that are wishing they were in AZ...it's REALLY cold here tonight.

First Concert At Mountain View Baptist in Dewey

We met some wonderful people yesterday at Mountain View and had a blessed time sharing music there.


More Zion National Park Pics




Zion National Park

We made a side trip to Zion National Park and it was beautiful. The day was sunny and the rocks and cliffs were spectacular. God's awesome work. We couldn't stay as long as we wanted, but Hannah got to walk through the sand and Greg got to get out his camera. The pampered pooch got carried all throughout the park and the little ones had an awesome time taking their own pictures and seeing some very tame deer.

Pictures from the trip Day 2


Leah, on one of her few times of sleeping in the car!



Greg driving through the hairy five lanes of Salt Lake City, except he looks too calm! Maybe it was later.


A camera shot of the back and all our junk. Well, there's people there too and those aren't junk.


Beautiful mountains rising above the hairy freeway.

On the Way!

Two days on the road with the blessing of wonderful weather...we are a little weary this evening but have made it to St. George, Utah. We changed coarse as there was a little one with some digestive issues that required frequent stops and there aren't that many stops in Nevada! We would appreciate prayers for the little bug to not go much further.
We plan to arrive in Dewey tomorrow afternoon or evening. I will hopefully post some pictures at that time.
