FRIDAY, MAY 28, 2010
Today we had a resting day, but we did play putt-putt golf. Marge won one, and I tied with her on the next game. Also we went to Flying W. Ranch where we watched people sing and tell jokes. They played guitars, a bass, a fiddle, and a mandoline. There was this one cowboy song called "I'm My Own Granpa" and let me tell you that guy had a messed up family. We ate supper and watched the show.

Today we made it into Canon City, Colorado plus we made it through New Mexico. We went up to the top of a big hill to at our campground to spot the Royal Gorge. Now I see why they call it Colorful Colorado. I found different colors of sand: red, green, yellow, blue.

Today we went to the Royal Gorge. okay, so cool!! Plus there is this little western town with a petting zoo, a carriage ride, a cable car, and so much more.
THURSDAY, MAY 27, 2010
We went to Pikes Peak, but they won't let us go up to the top because of the wind speed 64 mph. when we got to the top, I played in the snow and got it all in my boots. We also went to the Garden of the Gods. It's a big maze of rocks that were formed millions of years ago. Our last stop was the Indian Cliff Dwelling. That was cool too. It showed you the tools they used and things like that. Then it showed you the actual cliff dwelling that you can go inside and see the rooms and things like that.
NOTE FROM NANNY WHO IS TYPING THIS: Sorry you are missing all the drawings. They add a lot to the journal entries. Maxwell loves to draw and adds several pictures per day's entry. One of the ones for today had a little boys standing on a snow hill. He has black boots on; his tongue is sticking out; and the words "chatter chatter" are written above the drawing.

First 3 days of Western trip
Saturday, May 22, 2010
Today we are going to cross Alabama and stay for one night at Tupelo, Mississippi. We stayed at Tombigbe State Park.
Today I went to the playground and played on the merry-go-round. It was surrounded by a mud puddle, and well, you get the rest . . . . :>}
Also today I caught some fireflies while Nanny, Ms. Marge, and Paco walked around the parking lot.
Sunday, May 23, 2010
Today we passed through Tennessee, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, and we passed over the Mississippi River on our way into Arkansas.
It was really cool because we saw all sorts of cool things like the Mississippi River. Plus I saw a little baby bird that fell out of a tree trying to learn to fly.
When we got to the place where we were going to stay (a WalMart parking lot) we went to eat at Arby’s and went to look for some sealer for the camper a toy for me.
We had a break outside in the grass and played a new game called Scoopball in my underwear at a WalMart parking lot at 11:00 P.M. :>}
Monday, May 24, 2010
Today we went 430 miles across Oklahoma and into Amarillo, Texas, or as we like to call it, Armadillo.
On our way into Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, we saw some electric producing windmills out the truck. Plus we went to a steakhouse called The Country Barn. They had a cool looking bar with a real car on it.

Getting Ready to Start a Great Summer
Summer 2010 is going to be a memorable experience for several reasons... it is the end of elementary school and it is the summer that I travel across the country with my grandparents and experience all kinds of adventures. My mama helped me set up this blog so that I can journal about my summer travels out west and so that my family and friends can read all about it.
Hope you will join me on my summer adventures.
