While in Shreveport, I was privileged enough to see Kaitlyn participating in a Cross Country Meet. It was quite interesting and I was glad I wasn't doing the running, as it was extremely hot and it was a long run (2 miles) but she kept running and running and running.
Mr. C. returned to Shreveport, long enough to pack us up and rehitch the RV to head towards Albuquerque, NM to visit with his Dad and Step Mom (we try to see them yearly). In addition to Dad and Janet we also got to spend time with Mr. C's sister, Joella, our niece Rachael, and a friend Deanna,who all came down from Colorado to visit with us.
We spent a great 4 days in Albuquerque enjoying time with Dad, Janet, Janet's sons and families, and Mr. C's sister Joella, niece Rachael, along with friend Deanna. We went out for meals, to the Sandia Casino, spent time at the swimming pool, and at Dad and Janet's lovely home. After 4 days of catching up, we headed back east.
From Shreveport, we decided to try a different route than our usual. We drove up through Texas to Wichita Falls, TX, then to Amarillo, TX, and then on to Albuquerque where we stayed at American RV Park. We stayed in a very nice park in Wichita Falls, TX. It had a very special dog walking area (not fenced as the KOA parks are, so they had to stay on leashes, but you can see they liked it, LOL)
We reversed the trip back through Amarillo, Wichita Falls, and back to Shreveport, La to be there for Halloween weekend.
Alex (Billy Mays the commercial guy), Kaitlyn (a scary clown) and Josh (Who you gonna call? Ghost Buster!!!). Becky and I passed out the candy to trick or treaters who came by the house. There were lots of cute and well costumed kids and even families. The best one was this family who made Mario costumes as well as Mario cars to actually "drive" around in. Even Mom and Dad got in on the act.
Then, after enjoying more time with Becky and family for Halloween, we headed on East to Gulf State Park, AL for 2 final weeks in the sun.
Thus ended our 2015 Great Escape and we headed back to Illinois for the winter. Now I'm caught up on "old" posts and can catch up on the new 2016 posts.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. Until later, Smiles, Sue C
