Kick-Off to Summer......not so much!

Memorial Day Weekend we went up to the Rim to do some camping in our new "home away from home". We purchased a toyhauler in February and this is the first chance we've had to use it. LOVE IT!!! Anyway, the weather was very strange...COLD for May in Arizona. It had been raining and a cold front had come through, but we decided to "rough" it anyway and go. LOL...


The first day we pretty much had to stay in the trailer the whole time, but the next day we finally saw sun and although it was still a bit nippy, we were able to go on quite a few quad rides.



We built a fire to try and keep us toasty so we could stay outside. It worked for a little bit after having some trouble getting in going due to the wind. Then it was back in the trailer and turn the heat on....lol. I'm not much of a cold weather person. All in all, we had a GREAT time and we're looking forward to going again in a few weeks or so. Atleast then, the cooler weather will be welcomed. :)

School Buses....not so safe!!

Today Madison went on a field trip. This is how it ended. She was one of six students transported to the hospital with injuries. Thank goodness, they were all minor injuries. Madison happened to be sitting at the window that was directly hit by the car. She hit her head and face against the window. She had a pretty bad nosebleed and complained of a headache and dizziness. She was checked at the ER and released. Pretty scary situation for all involved. And let me tell ya, that was NOT a fun phone call to get. Especially since we had to drive all the way to Scottsdale (about 40 minutes) without really knowing how she was. Here is the article from the newspaper.......http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/2008/05/06/20080506sr-busaccident0507.html





It was determined that it was the fault of the bus driver. Seriously don't know how these drivers are given the responsability of driving around kids when they never know where they are going for field trips. Mapquest??? GPS??? TomTom???
