Ok so I will attempt to catch up! We had an amazing time staying at Lake Mead. There is an amazing campground right on the lake. We biked around and even went out with friends on their houseboat. They had a great powerboat as well that we went tubing on. As a mother it feels really scary to send your kids out into the middle of a huge lake and drag them fast behind your boat when you know that they aren't the strongest swimmers! Faith in the life jackets...

| Yes...It's true we found Bedrock! |
We headed toward the Grand Canyon after Lake Mead and found Bedrock not far from the South Rim. Of course we had to stay there. Take a look at our photo album on the previous post. This place rocked! It was as run down and kitshy as you would expect but we loved it. All the locals would come and eat at Fred's Diner. I would go back here in a minute. It was certainly a highlight!!!!

The Grand Canyon is as majestic as ever. It was the first time the boys had seen it. They were in awe and their eyes as wide as saucers when the first looked at it. People get there!!! If your kids have not seen it. Or if you have not. It is a magical place and very powerful. Kelwin and I made many life decisions while we were there. You can't help but reflect on your life while looking at the power of Mother Nature.

| Crystal Hill in Arizona |
We headed to Quartzsite, AZ after that on our way back to So. Cal. We were slightly ahead of the thousands of people that descend on that town for the largest flea market in the world I believe. We will go back when the town is in full swing. We met the naked bookseller. No....he's not completely naked..he wears a sock. A true free spirit living the life he wants. We could relate to him. No, we are not going to start roaming the country naked.

| uh oh broke again |
We headed off to Carlsbad, CA to have Halloween with the cousins. Stopped at WalMart to get some costumes and Dolly broke down...again. We do not have good luck with WalMart parking lots. 2 times broke and both in WalMart parking lots. Oh well...This time it is bad and we have been in Oceanside, CA at a great RV park 2 blocks from the beach for the last month. In the next few days we will be towed up to Los Angeles to get poor Dolly fixed. However that may take a while. If you are in LA we will be there for December more than likely. Most people I tell the story to say," Man that sucks. Your stuck." You know what....we don't feel that way. We feel blessed!!! We knew Dolly would break at some point. Guess what? She broke down somewhere we love at holiday time. We can see our friends!!! I can pick up some wardrobe work and extend our health benefits. It couldn't be better. We are thrilled!!! Who cares how long it takes because we are on an adventure! Isn't life an adventure anyway? We will be on our way when the time is supposed to be. Whatever the plan is we don't pretend to know. We just go with the flow!!! Everywhere we've been we have picked up new team members and shared our love for our business and lifestyle. Life is good. If it weren't for the amazing business model of Network Marketing we would still be in jobs that we hate and living a life of mediocrity and trying to keep up with the status quo. Buck that!!!! Give me our old bus and a broke engine 2 blocks from the beach!
