Definitly Time To PANIC


AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! It is definitly panic time around here. It is the night before we are leaving for our vacation to Eastern Washington. If you look above, you will see our p/u, camper and boat, looking like they are ready to go. But are they? We are thinking that most everything is ready to go, but then again, is everything that we want to take along packed? AAAAAHHHHHHHH. Well, Henry will be coming over early next week, so I guess if we forgot anything important, we can get ahold of him and have him bring it.
We wanted to get some of the stuff done last night, but by the time I got home from work, it was raining, and raining too hard to really do anything. Soooooo, we had to wait until this morning to get everything we wanted done last night done. But we did get it done. Just about the only left to pack is the last minute stuff. There is still some stuff in the refrigerator that needs to get into ice chests for the ride over there. We still have some clothes to pick out and pack for our stay over there. And, of course, there is the personal stuff that we still need for tonight that will have to get into the camper tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning, around 6am,we will be meeting with two other families down at the bottom of the hill, grab some coffee to go, and then hit the road. We will be stopping in Ellensburg for breakfast, then stopping in Ephrata to gas up all the vehicles that need gas, and then on to the campground. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
The campground does have WiFi, but since they are only tied into one satellite, the internet connection will be kinda iffy. But, I will try my best to keep this thing updated with pictures and all the interesting stories that will be taking place over there every day.

Getting Ready for our Vacation

Ok, I know it has been awhile since I have done any updating to this thing. So, sorry to the couple of people who do actually look at this.

Well, it is that time of year where we are starting to panic a little bit, what with the short time left before we leave on our annual vacation trip to Eastern Washington.

This past Saturday, we got a couple of the somewhat major things done. Below, you can see the two tents that will be used this year by family and friends. The girls that will be coming will be using the purple tent and the boys will be staying in the blue tent.


We set these up in our backyard to air them out and just to make sure that everything is there. The purple tent is new, so we just wanted to make sure.





We also got the boat out of the garage and parked in the back yard. I wanted to make sure that it would still run, and it does. It fired up pretty quickly for having sat in the garage since last year. I just wish that we had time to get out more often to use it. Where does all the all the time go?

I do hope to do some updating while we are on vacation, with pictures and events that happen. However, the internet coverage is kinda iffy where we are going. The campground does offer free wireless, but they are only tied into one satellite, so all I can do is try to log on at different times of the day to see if there is coverage.
