Happy Easter, Happy 9 mo b/day to Madison

Here is a picture of the bed we picked out for the spare bedroom in Cornville, AZ. :). It should work for all the Granddaughters, if thier parents come too they can stay in the office.
Just kidding, but it does look like a bed Miss Madison, Bryauna, Jayden or Riley would like.




And speaking of Miss Madison isn't that a great picture of her. I'm so proud of myself for taking such a good picture.




We left Thursday around 6pm and arrived in Kingman, where we met up with Linda, around 12:20am. Dave drove 1st then Danny drove, Danny did a good job. Kim said it was the 1st time she ever saw Danny have 2 hands on the steering wheel. It was dark when he was driving and he knew driving out in the desert anything or should I say any animal that runs in front of you, hit it, don't even try to avoid it in the motor home. Thank goodness nothing ran out on the road. The only other thing was not reading the road signs, like when you are going down hills, if it's a 6% grade or whatever. I was sitting on the couch, Kim was co-pilot, and Dave was laying on the bed, and I saw the sign and asked Danny what was the percentage of the grade we were going down and he said he never saw the sign and Kim said she didn't have her glasses on so she couldn't read it. We started going faster so we knew we had to put our exhaust brake on but I couldn't remember which button it was. Danny said "Jeri, stop and think, which button is it" I couldn't get up because I had Miss Madison in my arms so I yelled for Dave. Dave got up and showed Danny which button it was and everything worked out fine. Danny asked me later if we would let him borrow the motor home now, I asked Dave and he said he would trust Danny with it. So Danny I guess that's a yes, but you are the only one that can drive it, not any of your buddies on your way to Vegas!
Back to our travels. We left Love's Gas Station in Kingman at 5:30am and arrived at Thousand Trails about 9am, Linda went on to the State Park in Cottonwood we would get together later in the day. We set up then we had to get going because we had a 10:30 appointment to inspect the rental house in Cottonwood. At 11 we had to be at the Cornville house, the one we are moving into. Kim and Danny liked the 1st house, but they really liked the Cornville house, Kim was like "Mom, this house is great, the kitchen is so big plus it has an island in the middle of it." The only thing is we have to put a fence in the backyard because it's like a 8ft drop. Kim said Madison can't go into the backyard because it's all rocks and she will put them in her mouth. After the inspections we drove to Sedona and got a rent a car and had lunch, we were all starving by then. We headed back to the coach, then Kim and Danny left for Prescott while Dave and I watched Madison. When they got back we met up with Linda for dinner around 7pm, then headed back to the coach, we were all beat but didn't get to bed until after 10pm.
Kim, Danny and Miss Madison headed home around 9am, they hit snow in Flagstaff then rain and high winds so they had an interesting drive back to Bakersfield, they made it safe and that's all we cared about. Dave and I drove to Phoenix to drop off some boxes then went to Prescott to look at new furniture for the Cornville house. I posted new pictures and in there are 2 of the couches that we looked at and liked. Today, Easter Sunday, we will have breakfast at the lodge here in 1000 Trails and then just hang out, maybe go out and see if Senator John McCain is home, since he lives in Cornville and we will be neighbors soon, maybe talk about doing BBQ's together.

Happy Easter to everyonePosted by Picasa
