You Guessed It:

When we got home we got home we went to bed; the next day brings on the stress of so many miles.

WAIT A MINTUTE!!! :

Tomorrow we drive to Moorhead! Then the day after that we go to Uncle Donny’s house!

Day 6: Swimming and Sweating

Wake up in the morning feelin like ke$ha:
I wake and lounge on my couch bed. I finally get up and eat and pack things.

One last go:
I go down to park to try the merry-go-round one last time. My new friends were there too.

On the road AGAIN:
We play "cows and horses". I'm on bumpa's team. we are winning. It's still a fair game though.

Rush-no-more:
Rush-no-more is our campsite today. We might stay here for 3 days at the most. We packed a lunch picnic.

Search'n'eat'n'sweat:
We searched for a place to eat. We found one under the trees and ate. I rode Nana's bike with Bumpa on his. We went for a ride leaving Nana on the phone at our lunch site. Our ride was very short, but I was still sweating and pooped.

Homebound and wet (again):
After cleaning a bit, Bumpa and I went to the pool. There was a jucussy and the pool was not heated.

Tired but not tired:
I cleaned my butt off in the motor home. Our guests arrived and they were served shrimp. I worked on my blog. We come in to eat. I' m eating from the red chair by the door, not with the guests and hosts. I finish my dinner first and start working on my blog. When the guests leave I'm headed for bed!

Day 4 and Day 5: Riding, Swimming and Spinning

Driving:
We drove from Arches to Rawlins, Wyoming.  Our lunch stop was just before Meeker, Colorado.

Taking your time:
We ate a slow breakfast together at the table not expecting the wonders that awaited us at the "tower".

Devils Tower:
Talk about your investments! The campground is huge! It's called devils tower campground. There is a swimming pool that's heated, and a merry-go-round which I love! Our site has a view of devils tower which is a large rock cylinder that is on state lands.

Around and Around we go:
We took a short hike all the way around the huge base of the tower. It was excrusiating.

Homebound and wet:
We tidy up and go to the pool. The pool is heated. I make three new friends. When I get out I am very wet.

Homebound and dizzy:
I dry off and go to the playground. The merry-go-round is so fun! Coolio!!! When I get off I am very dizzy.

Movie Maddness:
At night this campsite shows the movie that was filmed at devils tower which made devils tower famous.        Nana and I are goiing to see Strange Encounters of a Third Kind.  The movie was ok, but kinda hokey considering it was made a long time ago. It's like 11:00, so I think I might crash right on the couch.

Day 3:Best Day Ever!

Breakfast to go:
We woke EARLY to get better Arch photos. we took breakfast with us.

Balanced Rock

The Three Gossips

Fritzie, Mary and Moab at Delicate Arch

Stuck:

Old Stuff:
We saw prehistoric dinosaur tracks, and petroglyphs.

Climb the Dune:
I climbed a giant red dune. It was humongus!!! I was pooped when I got to the top!

Home Sweet Motor Home:
Homebound, the car made it's way home, with it's passengers tired out, ready for dinner, and later, some shut eye.

Gassy:

Time to stop for gas and some phone calls. I called my mom and my friend Allyson.
