The Summer of Travel
Well, this summer our time is pretty much spent on road trips. We went to Vegas (just Carl and I), we went to Colorado, driving thru California, Nevada, a bit of Arizona and Utah. And we will be leaving again soon on yet another road trip up to Canada, to visit with mom and dad and sister Connie. Dad has been feeling poorly and we hope he will be better when we get there. It will be difficult since we haven't seen him for a year and he has lost a lot of weight and has no hair anymore. But we will get to see everyone, including Tina and Fam on the way up and back and then we will be spending a week in Lake Tahoe with Carl's fam. We try and do the little family reunion thing every other year or so, but we see each other at least once a year, but not always all of us together. So this trip will be really neat, because the kids will see all of their cousins within two weeks of each other! Pretty cool.
For a change we will be staying with Lee and Tina on our trip home and I hope that works out!
My kids get up pretty early! I know it will be ok though. The nice thing about staying with someone is the visiting after hours, when the kids have gone to bed. We can play games and talk and laugh, which is the most fun of course! So Tina, and Lee, look out for some fun and good times! We are bringing a new game!

For those unaware, our dad has Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - which is supposed to take about 20 years in duration, there is no cure.
Our dad was diagnosed about 7 years ago, I think. He is currently undergoing chemo. He's 78 years old now, and it takes a lot out of him. His spirits are good though, and he's looking forward to seeing us soon. We'll be heading up after Carolyn & crew leave.
Also, our older sister moved up there when her hubby passed away. My folks help watch her kids while she works, and she helps them organize & takes the initiative with dealing with doctors & stuff.
But yeah, he'll be thin & bald this time up, so we have to prepare our kids the best we can.
