This New Year is full of expectations and hopes.
Tonight we will be joining my daughter's family and celebrating the new year at 9PM with New York. That is our midnight! It works out great, the older grandkids are in on the secret and the younger ones think they stayed up till midnight... and we get to celebrate AND go to bed early! Have to go out and get some hats, poppers and streamers and sparkling cider (our champagne!)
Update on the Slice of America trip: We have possibly picked up 2 more "wagons" to our wagontrain for the Grand Canyon part of the trip. Only one more reservation to make to complete the 30 nights of the trip.
The itinerary is now in stone, the menus and grocery lists are in progress. Packing lists and how to fit it all into the cars are in progress.
We will be painting a map on the van (with removable car paint, of course)and the kids will be adding our progress as we go. The stencil of the map is ready to go, but still have to get the paint at Kreagen's.
Great programs on "how the earth was made" have been taped and will be videos for the kids on the trip. The film on asteroids was filmed at the meteor crater where we will be visiting. The iron ore that came from that asteroid is spattered over a huge area and is magnetic. We are hoping to be able to find some and will be able to know by the changes on the compasses we are bringing.
We will be trying a lot of new campfire recepies and that should be exciting. We will either put on weight or starve! The starving part is very unlikely since we will alway have backup food.
The kids will be doing some different projects too, as well as posting their daily observations. That should be interesting.
