Welcome to Iowa!
Our welcome to Iowa was in Bloomfield. After passing the entrance to the campground almost twice, we were greeted with MUD. We pulled in to the campround and since the rain had started, the campround was having trouble with some of their power hookups, so we had to wait a few minutes to find out the spots that had power. After this was done, Ken tried to park the 5th wheel, which in turn got stuck in the mud. He had to tow the grey truck and 5th wheel out with his work truck. This not only happened once, but twice! We were up to our ankles in mud where the trailer was concerned (Hunter's knees!!!). We finally changed spots and had better luck. It only took us over an hour to just park the trailers! Talk about crazy.

When Ken tried to park the cargo trailer, the orange leveling blocks just sank under the muddy water to where I couldn't see the first one anymore.

Independence, MO

We stayed at the Campus Rv Park the couple of times that we have been there. This is a picture of the 1st time. The spiral in the backgound is the Community of Christ "The Temple" (used to be the RLDS church, then changed their name.)

For church, all we had to do was walk down the hill to the right, not in the picture, and there was the church building. Talk about convienience! The 1st time we stayed there, it was too cold and wet to walk, though. The last time we were there, it was a lot nicer weather!

So, here I am again getting behind on letting you know what's going on in our part of the world. After our 1st week in Missouri, we moved up to Trenton, about 2 hours NE of Independence. We were only planning on being there a week, but you know how things go.... Sabrina and Hunter actually were only there for one week and then we went back to Colorado to pack up the house for our renters to move in. We were gone 2 weeks in Cortez and then another week in Aurora with Sabrina's family. After we got back to Trenton, MO, we were there another week or so. We love the families that we have met in Missouri!

We then moved back to Independence, for 3 weeks and Ken was doing work at his boss' shop until he found out where we were going next. During that time in Independence, we adopted a 3 month old Shih Tzu puppy! He is the cutest little guy! We named him Rusty and Hunter is soooo happy to have him around and is so helpful with taking care of him, along with the fish we got a few weeks prior. I don't happen to have his piture on this computer, so I will upload as soon as I get to it..hehe.

After Independence, we moved back to Trenton, for what we thought would be 3 days. I decided to surprise my mom for Mother's day and Hunter and I went back to Colorado for a week. During that time we went to Cortez and Sabrina got her braces off - yeah!! When we got back to Trenton, MO we went to church the next day, then moved on up to Bloomfield, Iowa.
