Today was a crazy day! The girls went out to the ranch and I stayed home to catch up on banking, planning, shopping, etc. I purchased clear plastic totes for all our stuff. We each have a tote for clothes and I put all our food, camping gear, school books, and toiletries in 5 others. Also purchased 3 folding chairs for camping, all of which will have to be donated to the horse rescue when we return. We can't cart it all back to AK, that's for sure. Tried to keep the food fairly healthy with cereal, oatmeal, and fruit for breakfast, pb&j for lunch, lots of trail mix for snacks, and soup, noodles, and chicken for dinner.
The girls don't want to leave Las Vegas. They are having so much fun with Sally and Jill (grandma and auntie). Every day they wake up at 6:30 a.m. and head to the rescue - Shiloh Horse Rescue. They spend most of the day working - filling water buckets, grooming horses, mucking stalls, and orienting new volunteers. Some days, they tack up their horses and go for a ride! If I were 9 & 13 and had over 200 horses to visit every day, I wouldn't want to leave either! Not to mention the pot bellied pigs, llamas, goats, mules, dogs, cats, and chickens. It's almost like a day at Disneyland!
Tomorrow we pick up the rental van and load, Tuesday we leave!
