Our First Week Back

So much cute in one pic (thanks to Mommy for sharing)
Saturday we arrive back at our sweet mooch-docking spot in Santa Clarita and get set up.  It's hot!
FHUs, fast WiFi, security cameras, fenced and gated - sweet!
Not the 109 it was when we left in June, but hotter than anywhere else we've been since. 

 Top priority is seeing that grandbaby and early in the evening his parents bring him over for a visit. We're also kinda excited to see them too :-)
Ezra's first Halloween in his foxy feet
Very excited about his first pumpkin patch
Sunday our host, Scott, has planned a BBQ for the family. He pulls his new travel trailer up beside ours for added shade and we turn on the outside TV for a day of football. 

 I didn't get a lot of photos, having too much fun getting caught up with everyone.


Me with Ezra, Nick, Bill, Jillian, Corey, Scott, Brian
The week flies by as we take care of wedding prep, hair appointments for all three of us, Camping World warranty work, an afternoon movie and dinner at Ezra's house. 
They really should have a dress rental service too
Found a huge selection of "adult coloring books" at Barnes and Noble - score!!
Neither of them are too impressed
 

Two thumbs up for Mommy
Enjoying her first movie theater (all nice and clean too)
The morning of our CW appointment the dining room slide jams again, but is out this time and we have to cancel. Mobile tech tries to release the jam, realizes later there's a motor default, and gets it closed up that afternoon. The following day we give CW our nine item list, and pick it up at the end of the day with four of them done, one we decide not to have done, and the rest pending warranty approval. Overall we're happy half are done and have our fingers crossed for a quick turnaround on the others.

 We're re-set for Thursday Night Football and ready for the wedding activities to get started the next day. But that's it's own post :-))))

    Sounds like a very busy week, but lots of fun with that adorable grand baby:) So glad you are close enough to return and spend time with Ezra. Your new home looks very peaceful:) Looking forward to wedding photos!

    I sure hope CW was able to do something about your slide. So sorry to hear it acted up again.

      With the wedding behind us we plan to spend even more time with Ezra :-))))) Dang slides are probably the best and worst thing about the MH!

    Sounds like a great family outing and especially with the grandbaby. It's good you were close to everything and could get work done at CW. They always seem to be too busy to fit us in. However, could be because we don't make an appointment far enough out.

      What's funny to us is that two of things not done are the two we made the appointment for back in June - there's always those "jinxed" items that are the biggest pain. But nothing critical fortunately.

      He already has so much personality at three months - cracks me up.

    What fun to be back with that grandbaby. Your family does have a lot of excitement with weddings and babies. Hope you'll get all the rig issues, especially that slide, taken care of. Is the motor gone does the tech think? I take it these are electric slides?

      It looks like either a jam that faulted the motor or a faulted motor that jammed the slide :-( It goes in next week to confirm. I'm thinking nothing needs replacing at this point, just double checking what the mobile tech did on site. With four more boys over the age of 18 there looks to be a lot more excitement in the years to come!

    Busy week of catching up with friends, baby and kiddo visits, wedding shenanigans: sounds like heaven to me! Hopefully CW will be able to fix your slide once and for all.

    Your grandson is so adorable. I've bought dresses to wear to a wedding at a thrift store, almost as good as rental. I'm hoping to get my rig back soon from CW without having to get a loan to pay for repairs.

      I did pick up the shoes I wore at Goodwill :-) Best of luck on your repairs. This is our last warranty appointment so we're not looking forward to repair costs in the future!

    Such cuteness!

    I got a coloring book a few months ago and I really enjoy it. Hope you do too!

      I had two other ones that fell behind the dinette and can't be reached, so I've been looking for new ones for a couple months - this store was the mother lode! Coloring is very "zen" :-))))

    Ezra is absolutely adorable!! Love the photo of him with the kitty, and with his "foxy feet" and cap. Looks like you're having a wonderful time with the family. BTW, those adult coloring books aren't at all what I imagined! :-)

      Family is definitely what we miss about being on the road, so this is a wonderful time for us.
