We have a new Toy!

We acquired a new toy recently. We never told the kids as they would have drove us nuts. But we weren't quite sure how it was going to work out and how we would even get it home. Luckily good friends Tim & Sharron Teed showed up for a visit when they were in the area for a load. Tim is always eager to lend a helping hand! His truck was perfect for the job, even through a few minor glitches,they got it delivered to our house. The fun part was getting his big rig down our street. Unfortunately when he pulled over in the sand he got stuck. Luckily a 2x4 under the tire gave enough traction it came out really easy. So we didn't have to call a tow truck, thank goodness. The next fun part was to get it back through our narrow walk way to where it needed to be. They decided to lay 2x4's on the grass and wheel it back which worked really well. The kids are excited to use this as they always love it when we stay somewhere with a pool and hot tub. We are still working on some minor glitches with heating and some of the jets aren't working but I think it possibly got jarred loose in the moving process. Hopefully we can get it fixed soon so we can relax and enjoy it!

A hot tub on campus, now THAT is funny!!! It looks really nice, I hope we get to see pictures when you get it all hooked up and in place. That would be very relaxing and I'm sure will get a lot of good use.
