RV Adventure: Day 4

Intro: Today we spent half the day at the mall, and the other half driving to Yellowstone. It was really cool at the mall because we saw the movie ‘UP’. The drive up to Yellowstone was pretty too. We saw some geese and a lone elk. We haven’t seen much else though. We just got to Yellowstone, went to our reservation, and then went to sleep. It was one of those freezing nights too. Good thing I remembered to close the windows.

Day 4: As soon as we woke up on Monday, June 1, 2009, we dropped Mom off at a car rental place and then the five of us, Dad, Jon, Josh, Dan, and I went to Joe’s house to repair our engine. Let’s just say Joe’s neighbors were SO happy to see a VERY LOUD RV pull up into a driveway. One motorcycle dude came up and asked Joe, “What ya do’n there, man?”. When we dropped the RV off, we saw Mom pull up in a blue car and she looked like she wanted one of these cars for her entire life. When I asked her if she liked it, she kept using the excuse, “They picked it out, not me.” I still don’t believe her. Mom and Dad were able to sit in the front of the car while the four kids squished together in the back of the car. I could tell Dad liked driving the little blue car more than the humongous RV. While we drove around, Dad would drive into parking lots and do 180s and a couple 360s. Dad said he would do it with the RV too if it wasn’t so hard to control. We took a spin down to the mall. We started walking around looking in game stores waiting for the movies to open. At one of the stores, Dad said, “This is the best group of games in one store I’ve ever seen!” The attendant said they had several complements like Dad’s too. “Even some people from New York and Washington said that they have never seen a game store like this one.” We then went to the movie to see ‘UP’. ‘Up’ was a very emotional movie, on some parts you will be crying your heart out, and in other parts you will be laughing so hard that you can’t stop. I recommend the movie to anyone with an adventurous heart. After the movie, we found out the Joe was able to fix the spark plug in only two hours! So that meant that we could go pick it up at that very moment. God did answer our prayers, very fast too. We were soon on our way after paying and thanking Joe, and returning the rental car. Out of everyone else’s view, I saw Mom say her last good-byes to the blue car. Of course she still says she didn’t do it. We made it to Yellowstone about 8:00pm. One hour earlier than we expected too. We hooked up, had dinner, then hopped into bed. We were going to see some beautiful scenery in the morning at Yellowstone.
