It is always a sad day when we have to leave. Goodbyes are always hard. We had such a wonderful time and it goes by too fast.
We just put the kids in the RV with their Jammie's on about 6 am and they went back to bed and we hit the road.
Next destination...Springfield, MO
We even got some homework done on the trip... Was making me think homeschooling wouldn't be all that bad if we can do things like this!
We made good time and pulled into Springfield, MO around 3:30 to the KOA campground on Route 66 where we made the reservations. We pulled in and got situated and it was going to be the first time Charlie had to use the hook ups and figure everything out...So I thought lets get out of his way. The kids noticed they had a little gem mining thing up by the store so of course they were excited to go do that. The pool wasn't happening because we only had a short time before we had to find a cab to town to a baseball game.
Boys love rocks and doing the gem mining was something fun to do after the long ride. The sat and compared rocks and looked up to see what kinds they had found.
Charlie was able to get everything hooked up but the A/C would cut off and on so we were a little concerned about that but it was time to leave and it was running.
We got a cab into town for a 6:00 baseball game. The Springfield Cardinals. They are the AA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a really beautiful stadium. We just got our tickets when we arrived and sat behind the visiting team. It was the San Diego Padres affiliate. The boys had a blast and it was a lot of fun and the heat wasn't too bad after the sun went down. They met the mascot and Braedyn got a little souvenir from the game staff. According to him "She threw it to the cute one". After the game the boys got to run the bases. Jordan loved that.
We took the cab back to the campground and poor Jake the AC had went out sometime when we were gone...I took him for a walk and cooled him down. Charlie tried to get a hold of someone but at this point it's like 11:30 back on NC time. It was like a sauna in there. I think I would've slept on a lounge chair outside if it didn't turn back on. They show you so many switches the day you go to pick it up and he was getting so frustrated because he knew they showed him but couldn't remember where the breaker was. Finally they called back we got it figured out and of course was a flip of a switch and it never did it again... There's always going to be some hiccups along the way and a learning curve! Luckily that was an easy fix and we all went to sleep very comfortably.
