John and I attended the temple at 6 am. We returned back to the motel room at 8:15 and went with the kids to have breakfast. The motel had a self-serve kitchen. We ate cereal, toast, and waffles. After we packed up the van, we drove over to the temple to walk around and take [...]
We woke up early, had showers, ate oatmeal for breakfast and broke camp at 9am. We left Salt Lake city and drove to Layton, Utah. We stopped and shopped at Target Superstore. The kids got clothes, we bought groceris for lunch, etc. We made sandwiches (deli-meat, lettuce, red onion, tomato, cheese), sugar peas, bananas, and [...]
We woke up in the morning, and John, Victoria, William, and Douglas went swimming in the indoor pools. Yesterday the temperature was cool; it fluctuated between 18 C and 29 C. When we camped at Bluewater Lake State Park outside Mesita, New Mexico, it was cool also. We had to wear a light jacket while [...]
This morning the campground looked nicer than I thought. The lake seemed nice. There were people that arrived early so they could go boating. John is taking pictures at a lookout after we climbed out of the valley from the campground. Gasoline at the Indian Village at the continental divide. – Victoria 12:26pm Left Gallup. [...]
We got up earlier to shower and get ready for church. Packed up the tent and sleeping bags. The family tenting next to us had two small children (about the ages of 1 and 3). They were dressed in church clothes this morning, too. They arrived at church just after us. We learned that this [...]

Had a pancake breakfast at the KOA: $3/person for all you can eat. William had 8. The record is 28. April thinks you have to be insane to eat that many. William was still hungry, but was getting sick of just pancakes. The guy that makes them has been doing it for 21 years. He [...]
Three thunderstorms last night. It was so exciting! (for me at least) April said I was like a dog and I would be barking at every flash and boom. But it couldn’t get any better without hot sauce. Still a little wet in the morning so we had to pack damp sleeping bags. Everyone except [...]
