Greetings from Arizona! I know it's been a long time, and I'm almost embarrassed to update my blog, since I've been so bad at it. We are staying in Southern Arizona for the winter. We did make it back to IN for 2 1/2 weeks over Christmas, with a stop in Chouteou OK to see my grandparents and some other family. Was great to see everyone again!
Jay and I both have a job at the campground we are staying at and we committed to stay till April. I only work in early mornings, so it doesn't interfere with homeschooling. Jay works every day but Sun. and Mon. It's a pretty easy job compared to an RV factory! We've made some good friends here, and have met people from all over the country and Canada.
What I want to do in this post is list all the major places we've been to on our RV road trip, from beginning to end. For those who don't know, we began our journey at the end of May, 2013. If I counted right we've been in 32 states, plus Mexico. As you'll see, we went to a lot of National Parks, Monuments, ect. The children did a lot Jr. Ranger programs at these, and have a whole lot of Badges to show for it. Its been an amazing adventure, and the worst thing we had happen was a few flat tires, which we noticed before any real damage was done. We are so thankful to God for His protection and guidance!
