I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

Every Friday at Marc Community Resources, where Kate attends a day program, they have "theme' day. This week was no exception. Can you guess the theme?

I tried to convince her that it was one or the other, Princess or Super Hero. She was adamant that it had to be both. She won.

She is also adamant that she doesn't like camping. Not sure she has ever been, but she doesn't want to go with us. We recently bought a used RV for traveling with her and the dogs, so far it has just been us and the dogs. Typical. I think she is finding her friends way more appealing than the "rents". 

That being said, last weekend she had a sleepover with her sister Patty and spent Saturday afternoon with her friends. Meanwhile, the four of us went up north for a short trip down Route 66 for a camping get away over night. It was lovely.

First stop was the Meteor Crater - amazing. The second largest hole in the ground in Arizona. Art got his picture taken with a new friend.

Second stop was an opportunity to "Take it Easy" and spend sometime standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, and such a fine sight to see. Can you see the "girl my Lord in a flat bed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me" in the window? (The song will be stuck in your head for days, believe me) Again we were lucky enough to make  more friends to take our pictures with.

Our stop for the night was a very nice campground right outside of Winslow on a lake. Peace and quiet. Art made an excellent rib dinner on the grill and we star gazed and my old friend Mr. Moon was shinning bright. Life is good. I will admit I missed Kate, but I knew she was having a good time also, without us.

The next morning we started home and I was amazed at the different topography you can see in Arizona in just a 3 hour trip. We went from desert to grass, cactus to pine trees, huge boulders on mountains to flat clay land as far as the eye could see. Signs to watch for horses, elk, bear, donkey, cows (with and without babies), falling rocks, ice, do not cross when flooded and chain your tires areas. Crazy!

It was a fun trip, to be concluded with a concert in the park with food trucks when we got home. Who do you think we ran into there. Kate and her friends, who by the way, said hello but didn't want to hang with us...still. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
