Drive Miles /Hours– 120/3 hours

Travel day to Ryan and Amanda's. I was so excited to see them. While getting ready this morning, Barry left the garbage bag outside to add more, and one of the squirrels got into the bag. It grabbed the avocado seed, took it behind our Jeep, and ate a part of it. Gave us a good laugh! I wish I'd seen the squirrel carry it. The avocado seed might have been larger than the squirrel. 

Even though this is a chewed-up avocado seed, 
it looks like a chicken's head

We packed up the RV and headed out around 10:30 AM. We did not hook up the Jeep because getting out of the RV park was a little narrow. I followed Barry out of the park. We stopped just outside the park, and I put the Jeep flashers on to be safe since we stuck out on the road a bit. Barry hooked up the Jeep, and we were off. 

It was a good drive with minimal construction areas, something we always worry about. We arrived around 3:00 PM, and everyone was home. When Barry was unhooking the Jeep, he discovered the emergency flashers were left on, and the battery was dead. We traveled from Crater Lake with them on. He pulled out his charger and got it running again. Ryan instructed us where to park, and he helped his Uncle B set up power, water, and sewer. The sewer hookup Ryan installed once we confirmed we were coming. Thank you, Ryan! Julie was all hooked up and settled in for the week. 

Home for the next week.

We got a tour of the house, the chicken coop, the new barn, Tucker's pump track, and the outlying property. They live on six acres. The last time we were visiting them, they lived in Redmond. This house they built. It is a beautiful home, and they are so proud of all the work they have done and should be. 

I buy all the families a Halloween movable something every year. Instead of shipping it this year, I brought it. Tucker has such an imagination. He took the tissue paper from the package, made a cape over his head, and attached it to his hat and long pointy fingers. Below is the finished product, and we were just cracking up. 

 

               

We watched Tucker ride his bike on his pump track before dinner. He was so excited to show us. He has so much nerve. But at nine years old, it is all about how fast and how high you can go, and he does both with no fear! He and I also went out to the road so he could show me how he jumped his ramp. With this kid, it is all about the pump track and his bike. 

          

Ryan and Amanda cooked BBQ chicken kabobs for dinner, and they were delicious. It was fantastic to have dinner with family. There was much chatter during dinner, catching up with everything. 

Off to bed, and tomorrow we are going across the road to see the horses and the kids ride. Addison has started competing in barrel racing. The past weekend, she earned her first blue ribbon.

Hope you have blue ribbon dreams.
