Beginning the Journey

Finally, the time has come! We started the beginning of our journey! Driving to Grangeville, ID. Small town, about 200 miles North of Boise, ID. Driving from Logandale it took 830 miles! Quite a bit if you ask me. I drove the RV with the Rock wall and Grandpa Frank drove the truck holding the bubbles. Josh chilled with me in the RV on the way up. He slept for most of the drive, but was a good-sport and slept in the front seat, instead of on the bed. (Most of the time anyway.) We left Logandale about 5 p.m. Started to get tired around 1 a.m. So we pulled over in a town called, Wells. We slept for a few hours and then hit the road again. It was a smooth drive most of the way. Little windy in certain areas, but we handled it just fine. It was a gorgeous drive as well so we had to take pictures. The pictures are taken from inside the RV, so ignore the bugs on the windshield. :) Also, when we drove through Boise, I had Josh take a drive picture of the Temple! Sweet huh?!

In past years, my Father (Brent), Josh, and I would always stop at this fruit store. They have fresh fruit every year and it is always so good. We stopped and bought some peaches, cherries, and strawberries. They were delicious. Josh ate them so fast! He loves fruit, especially peaches! Many people can vouch for that. We then continued the drive.

Now, after 16 hours of driving we made it to Grangeville, ID. Not exactly in one piece, but we made it. Grandpa Frank blew a tire on the truck and had to get that repaired. Not too bad, it just put back on time. So, this is our first fair of the summer season. Pretty exciting! The RV is parked and set up, as well as the rock wall and bubbles. The bubbles took some time to set up and a lot of rearranging and leveling. Everything has been taken care of though. On our down time, Josh watches movies while he eats his cereal and peaches. Grandpa looks up current events and sports on the computer. And I sit and get other business tasks done. It's great too because everyone has been great with helping each other out and getting things done. The fair people have been really nice and cooperative.

I'm stressing out a lot. This is really big deal for me and the family. I've been doing this for three years now, going on four. Everything will turn out great. I just need patience, understanding, and patience. Oh wait, I already said that. I need patience though..a lot of it. Because even after three years, you think you've got it all down that's when you know you don't. Anyway, it's going to be hard and weird not having Dad here, but we will be able to handle it, hopefully he will too. ;)

This is the beginning of our journey. Our four month journey. I'll learn so much and become a better person. I'm excited for what will be in store for me. I know there will be many many, many rough times and bumps throughout this, but I know with help, support, and *patience* I'll be able to make it. Thanks for reading this blog. There will be more to come! Enjoy!
