Saturday morning found us getting things around for our Christmas with the kids. We were going to do some after Christmas shopping but we decided to skip that this year and go to Erin's to help her get our dinner ready. After arriving at their house, I made the dressing while she finished getting herself and Lauren dressed for the day. Ryan was out cleaning off their driveway. Their street had not been cleared and it was horrible!
We had a great day with the kids and having our Christmas .... turkey, dressing, potatoes, salads and pie! What a great meal! The turkey smelled so good cooking.... I have not cooked a turkey in the camper yet as I don't have an oven to cook it in.... only a convection microwave...so not sure how it would work! Ryan started a fire in their fireplace and it was wonderful!
Anyway....we had a great day and it was over too quick..... Jeff and Megan left around 4:30 to get home before the roads got slick from being dark. We left shortly after that.
We had planned on leaving the park around 7 this am but it was 9:15 when we left.... we were up and around ready to go and putting our slideouts in we found out they had frozen.... no way were they rolling up. So we worked and worked and finally Bill got them ice free and we rolled them up and headed out....when we got on the highway the roads were clear and free of any snow all the way down. We were going to stop for the day in OKC to see my sister but decided to head on down to Thackerville because of the snow in OKC..not sure if we could have gotten around in OKC or not....
So we are now in Thackerville ....in almost 40 degree weather! the snow and ice is melted and the rig is a mess but not unlike thousands of cars that passed us today! When we get to the valley we will wash the rig and truck...... they will need it badly! Just glad it is free of ice and we are out of the snow and cold! It is cool here but not like the 23 degree weather we left this am!
Our plans are to get to Victoria for a couple of days and relax for a while.... our friends from Great Bend will be making their way to Victoria beginning tomorrow. We will travel the rest of the way with them....
So that is about all that we have been doing! It has been almost a week since we have quit working! What a quick week it has been!
Until next time!
