Moving

The last week in East TX we had lunch with Daniel’s coworkers, several trips to the nursing home to say our goodbyes, and lots of fun park time. Wyatt and I loved every bit of it.  I know it is good for him to be out and about, so I try and take him to the nursing home to visit as much as possible. We were about 20 miles from town at this rotation so it was more of a challenge, but we made it at least once a week. Henderson had an adorable town square with some super cute shops. I may have spent quite a few Friday afternoons shopping on the square! HA!

 

One day we met Daniel for lunch and stopped at the park before we dropped him back off at work. My boys both loved it. Quality time during the day isn’t something we get often!

Wyatt was happy to go down the big slide. You need two people for this thing! HA!

 

Friday we had lunch with Daniel's coworkers and then had a fun little trick or treat for Wyatt in the therapy department. He completely and totally ate it up! He loved exploring the wide open space and loved going between the therapists for animal crackers. He had a fun treat bag we hung on the side of his Cick-Clack  but, he decided they were better suited to keep his "snoopy" aka Flu Baby company. He had so much fun and we really enjoyed watching him interact with the therapists and patients.

This is literally all the town we were actually living in had to offer.....

Friday also meant...we were leaving out in the morning. We both admitted that this time we were not ready! HA! Oh well. I stayed up late doing laundry and packing while the hubs snored away (love you D)! :) We all know this to be true..it always happens..the woman stays up..the man sleeps! HA!   Anyway, we got on the road fairly early and actually had a trip without any hiccups. It was a miracle! It was a quick trip of only 3 hours and I was hopefully that in that short time things would be fine! We arrived and drove past he park, turned around and just decided to stay at the first one we came upon. In hindsight and after talking to several people in town..I think we should have looked at the other option. The owner is SUPER nice it is just the surroundings that do make us a tiny bit nervous. So far so good, it is just not my favorite park. At least our spot and the other RV spots are well kept and that my friends is more than you can ask for at some parks. Daniel and I were laughing because we have become quite the RV park snobs and have expectations that I am put out with if they aren't available! We joke that it means we have full-timed for WAY too long! HA!

He REALLY wanted to be outside helping daddy...he was pretty cold that morning but he eventually got his wish.

 

Helping Daddy

At nap time I resorted to putting toys in his bed. He played for a few then went down for the count!

Packing up. The toys have made it more of a challenge however, I think I have it figured out when we bring in the slides.

 So anyway we arrived, started setting up, and I stepped in EVERy single fire aunt hill as we decided what spot to park in. Then Daniel found a fun new crack in the fiberglass of the 5^th wheel..Oh wait did I say we had an uneventful trip. So I decided that night we were going Austin on Sunday to vote and just avoid the stress of possibly not getting in our early voting forms and to switch out the mattress. A few months ago we bought a new King but it was actually a little larger than the built in space and this has always concerned me in regards to the bedroom slide. Who knew the mattress for our 5^th wheel was custom….clearly not us. The tag said King. (We have no idea if this caused the crack..but I didn't care not taking a chance!) So I made the decision we would switch it out for the new Queen mattress we had in storage. Daniel was not so thrilled, but we did it.  So Sunday morning we loaded up the mattress into the back of the truck of course with no harsh words towards each other. Right?!?! I have come to the conclusion that regardless of size, any furniture will be hard to get through the door…specifically a king mattress. 

Mattress is finally out!

Wyatt woke up from his nap and we headed out. We got in town just in time for lunch. We stopped by Daniel's parents,  picked up Mary, headed to lunch, voted, and tackled the storage unit for our mattress. Wyatt had a lot of fun playing at his Mimi's house  as apparent by the last picture. He was on the go in the few hours we were in town.

Mary thank you for helping us with Wyatt while we were loading and unloading. We got back to the 5th wheel around 11 and unloaded. Regardless we did it and the new mattress fits much better. Anyway, like I said it was a very quick impromptu trip but we accomplished a lot. A weekend of moving, voting, and half day trip to Austin..I mean what more could a kiddo want!
