To Earn My Wings

 This Saturday we left for Eatonville.

 But unfortunately, we didn't get far before we had to turn back due to an exhaust leak that was giving us very bad gas mileage. We drove to Grandpa's house were we set to work patching the leak. It took the rest of the day to finish the repair.

Pizza for dinner!

 We set out the next day, Sunday, in hopes that our patch job worked.

 It didn't. We didn't get very far before the van was cutting out and hesitating, and we had to turn back again. We decided that we needed to have some fun, since the disappointments of the day, so we camped out yesterday. We had a fire in our firepit, and then talked and played games till bedtime.

We all slept outside, some in our tent trailer, and some in a tent. It's been awhile since I slept  outside and with all my sisters, it was really fun!
When we got up this morning we cooked breakfast over the fire, cinnamon pancakes with cream cheese glaze, and sausage.

So, we are hoping to get the van fixed this week, and leave next weekend.I'm very excited to go!
