The one thing that we enjoyed together with Arlo being there was time spent in the mountains. When Kent was less than a month old we went to the mountains and camped out. We slept in sleeping bags and cooked on the camp fire. I don't remember the place that we camped but I do remember being in the mountains. We spent a lot of time camping out and then later spent time at the cabin. The cabin proved to be a great investment for us. I still like to go there. Our reunion there was great. We have owned it for many years.
One time Barbara, LaRue, Doris Faye and I took all of our children in one car and went to Los Alamos, to visit Keith and Erma. That wouldn't be possible today because of seat belt laws.

One time we took the VW pickup and went to Pueblo to visit Nona. The car broke down and we had to find a ride home.
When Bonnie Lynn had to go to Denver for a check up at the hospital, I took all of you children and we went several times. We went to the movie in a round theater, "It's a Mad Mad World". All of us laughed so hard we cried. Sometimes we went to a resturant where there was a toy train running around the room, near the ceiling. Can any one remember other things that we did?

About the only vacation that I remember parts of are when we went to Iowa to visit some of Arlo's family. His brother Richard and Alva lived out that way.
I remember riding in a Ford Ranchero in the back. A Ranchero is a car/pickup. I remember the electric fences, the fire flies, the corn, and the cows.
Richard had some goldfish in a pond in his yard.
I'll never forget the electric fence!
Being packed into the back of the Ranchero was hard, but it was fun too. I remember that Hastings Iowa, where Uncle Richard lived with covered with Elm Trees that nearly covered the streets in tunnels. We went back years later and there were no trees at all. They had been lost to Dutch Elm Disease.
When our little family lived in Greenville Texas they had some streets that were lined with trees that made complete canopies over the road.
