John changed the passenger side tire on the trailer. Our original tire has a puncture in it. Yesterday we ate cereal for breakfast, lunch was sandwiches and strawberries, and for dinner we had hot dogs, salad, and cookies. I went to the grocery store with Grandma yesterday and met a man that was Grandpa’s friend. […]
I took the van in to get fixed. It turned out to be the alternator. $262.02 to fix it. When I dropped it off I found a bench by the courthouse and updated the blog. During the afternoon we took a stroll through the neighborhood. It’s pretty hot, so it was a short stroll. Overall, […]
This morning we had Cheerios and watermelon for breakfast. After, John, William, Kristina and April went to town to find free WIFI so John can update the blog. While they were out, they had problems with the van. The engine wouldn’t start again. During this time, I did our laundray and I cleaned the bathroom. […]
We all had showers this morning. We ate cereal and strawberries for breakfast. After breakfast we drove out to the Hickory Grove Cemetery. It’s East on Highway 22 to Midway, then south on St. Louis Road (or boulevard) at Midway, AR. It was a dirt road that we travelled a ways on. We saw the […]
We just got back from going to church with Grandma. She goes to a church called The first Assembly of God. It’s very different from LDS. Mom wanted us to got to grandma’s church to keep her company. Then grandma could show off her family. Mom’s and my legs, feet, and ankles were swollen yesterday. […]
We spent the night in a parking lot in Neosho, Missouri. There was a semi-truck parked too. We got there about 12:15am CT. It was very uncomfortable sleeping in the van. We didn’t have access to any washrooms. John and William slept on top of the trailer. We were having problems with the van. The […]
Last night we camped at Wallace State Park. It’s very nice except for the heat and giant, yucky disgusting bugs. We went swimming last night in a lake and Mom and William got bit by something. Mom and dad did the laundry so we have clean clothes now. Some raccoons got into our trailer and […]

When we arrived, a van from Utah pulled up too. As we left, some people from West […]

We drove over to Plum Creek and we are entering Walnut Grove (pop. 599) at 9:45 Central. We went to the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. It was interesting. […]
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 […]
