Monkeying around...

First Night! Woohoo, we survived the first day. We didn't make very good time, but that is okay. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better for time on the road. We are still trying to figure out this towing business with our Suburban. We had a few really scarey moments with the camper swaying so bad that we were really lucky to have avoided an accident. I silently prayed the whole time. I haven't been that scared in a while, whew, glad it is over for now. Jud read up on it in the manual tonight and we should have a better ride tomorrow.We are staying in a KOA campground. We haven't seen it in the daytime, but it looks pretty.

This is becoming a dual day post. I started last night and ended up falling asleep with the computer in my lap. So I decided to finish it up this morning before the crew wakes up and we get on the road again. I hope we make a little better time today. It's not that we are in a huge hurry and don't want to be, but if we don't make better timing than yesterday we will be pressured for time in the end and it will be no fun for anyone. The whole idea is to be relaxed and have fun and find a place to live.

So we will be pulling out of here in a couple of hours and will be heading on westward to our destination. We have also heard that the weather may not be cooperating with us as well so if you feel led to send up a prayer in our behalf we would be very grateful.

Oh and by the way we did have our first mishap with the kids last night. After we got the camper set up and stable we all went inside and were getting settled when B opened the fridge and 18 eggs flew out at her. She was so shocked and upset that it she had ruined the eggs. I tried to convince her that it was really no big deal, but I don't think it was that much comfort as we cleaned the slimey mess off the floor. I was even able to salvage about 9 of them that had cracked but not really spilled their contents. I just put them in a tupperware container and stuck them back in the fridge for this morning. She also is aware that finances are tight right now and I think that the money that the eggs cost was part of her reason for being so bummed out about the accident.

I wasn't the least bit upset and I found the whole situation quite comical. That is a big plus for me because I can remember a time when I would have been so frustrated with that mess, and I probably would have some snarky comment to the poor unlucky person that had opened the door never once considering that I was the one who had packed the eggs! I will personally give myself a pat on the back here!

Hope to write again tonight!
