Hot August Nights 2012 - August 17-18

The rain that had started on Thursday evening continued all night in Pinetop, but we woke to a nice sunny sky. The moms had to check out of their condo at 10 a.m. and couldn’t check into their new condo in Overgaard until 3 pm, so we headed to the casino to kill some time! That made Tobey’s mom really happy! Tobey and I both spent our $10 and left it there … oh well, that’s a small price for our entertainment.

Around noon we headed to the Lotus Blossom Restaurant for a Chinese lunch buffet. It was good and that made Huey really happy! After lunch, the moms and Carolyn & Huey headed over to the new condo.

Tobey and I stopped to look at RVs on the way. That made us really happy! It is always fun for us to look at what is available. I fell in love with a 36’ 5th wheel trailer – it was gorgeous and had loads of storage. It was a 2012 model and marked down to $53,999 … then we would need a truck and that’s another $45,000. It’s a good thing I really like our little motor home!

We have had a fun time here at the Bison Ranch Resort. We got permission to park in the lot so we can spend time with the moms and still have our own space. We all went to play Bingo last night and played cards tonight. There was a really nice craft fair we went to today and some fun shops here that I found some cute clothes at. (Thank you, Tobey!)

There is also a small lake about a half mile down the road and we took Penny there both yesterday and today. She had so much fun chasing tennis balls and swimming – it was hard to get her out of the water! She has slept well!

Beetle with business cardWe enjoyed going in the hot tub tonight and resting our tired legs, too! When we got out, Tobey spotted this huge beetle walking across the sidewalk. I ran back to the RV to get the camera.  He is kind of cool looking – as long as he doesn’t get too close to me! Check out those horns!beetle side view

Tomorrow we say goodbye to the Moms and start our trek northward into Utah.
