Happy Birthday Vic Jr....Three States in 5 minutes

First let me say... I hate flies. RVing means they become a regular part of your life. You find all kinds of tips, ideas, inventions and stuff to keep them away.  But inevitably, even though you thought you killed everyone of them the night before having spent time, energy and patience, there is always that one or two that end up buzzing you at 6AM. Then it starts all over again. You yell at everyone to keep that door closed. Don't lolligag around the door, just get in or get out. But in those short seconds those masters of getting in....get in. Then the hunt, night after night......I hate flies.  Not to mention fruit flies....how do they even get in. Where do they come from????????????
Cookie Report. He has grown so much in the one month and 3 days of his life. He gets out of his whelping box often and we have to be very careful where we step.  He doesn't have sibling so we put a small stuffed bear in with him and they wrestle around.  The kids also spend a lot of time playing with him.  He is even beginning to play more with his mom...but she would rather just fee him then get out. He is now beginning to have gerber rice and dog mile supplement besides the mom milk he gets.

We finished our shows at the Cherokee Co Fair and have been invited back for next year.  The crowds were great.  I can't believe how mild the weather has been this entire season. 

We packed up yesterday and pulled out this morning. Since we wanted to go fishing on the MO River we made the grueling hour drive to Sioux City.  This part of the Missouri River sits on the corner of three states; Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa.  Today, in search of various things Vic Jr and I visited all three states. 

It is Victor's (JR) 12th birthday today.  He was quite excited to get a Dr WHo Sonic screwdriver and go out to the lunch of his choosing with dad. (a tradition with all the kids). We then went fishing on the Big Sioux River and the Missouri.  We fished....we didn't catch.  We did however spot a honey hole across from where we were trying today and may hit it tomorrow morning. 

Here are come pix from last week at the fair:
