GENERAL BUTLER STATE PARK!!! And with us is lots and lots of snow...We are going to try to leave tomorrow and head towards Tennessee but since this park has not even plowed our road it's going to be interesting making the trip up the hill to leave the park and actually since we can't even tell where the roads are we may end up in the snow covered land and with the weight of the RV we could end up stuck. Jack feels quite confident that we'll be fine. I'm the worrier.
These are a couple pictures of Jack and I doing our hikes around the park. I know that this may sound very silly to many people but being the first person to make tracks in newly fallen snow and having the snow cover your coat and hat, the freshness in the air, the true beauty of nature always makes me feel closer to God. I told you, silly, but it's how I've felt since I was a child playing in the snow. We've had a lot of fun here. I've especially enjoyed the beauty of the park and lodge, the privacy, the coziness of the RV while surrounded by lots of snow and deer.
We did run in to Carrollton again today for more supplies. I love saying that. Supplies. RV'ers don't shop to pick up groceries or clothes or anything that home owners do. Seems as an RV'er it's always supplies you're picking up. Like we're really roughing it out here. Jack had to buy a pair of good boots and found a pair at Glaubers Sporting Goods in Carrollton. Very nice people but I felt as if I'd walked in to Sara Palin's living room. There were so many stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall I'm going to have nightmares for weeks. And I could really, honestly read Jack's mind. He's paying for the boots and praying that I keep my mouth shut especially since two hunters stood not less than 8 feet away from us.
Watching the babes play in the snow was so awesome. Each morning either Jack or I take them out for their first potty walk. Today it was me. Tanner was loving the snow, running into every little drift he could find. And of course as mentioned before, leaving his mark. Poor little Sydney though is so tiny the snow reached her little belly. She buried her face in the snow like a bull in a china shop trying to find just the perfect spot for a lady to potty. I tried to get a picture with her face totally covered in snow but she wouldn't stand still long enough. She wanted to pee and get back to the RV. This evening when we took them out for their last walk she literally stayed in the foot tracks Jack and I had made earlier. She did not want to get her little feet covered in snow balls again.
Picture of the king and the diva. They have such a dog life. Say a prayer for us as we TRY to leave this park tomorrow.
