Weekend Visitors, A Sleepover....and RV Repairs!!!!

Our weekend was a busy one.  Our son and his wife (Deni and Courtney) flew into Vancouver, from Edmonton, Alberta, to attend a wedding and visit with family.  They arrived on Friday evening and flew back home last evening.

Easton spends some time with his Aunt Courtney and Uncle Deni

Ginette and Trevor were attending the same wedding.  We were asked if Easton could have a sleepover at our home.  We were quick to say yes.  The little fella came over on Saturday morning and he kept us busy.

Easton loves to climb stairs - over and over and over again.....

The busy beaver that he is, Easton kept us hopping. He wants to walk - holding our fingers - back and forth...and all over.  And we did a lot of that.

When tired of walking, he played on his own

Jeanette and I had a great time with him.  When it was time for bed, he adapted quickly and slept the entire night....just like at home.

Easton had not seen his aunt and uncle since Christmas and it took a few minutes of warming up before he was game to to engage with them.  Once engaged, he was all in for the fun.

Courtney and Deni brought Easton a special wood box with various wood blocks.  A few books for some night time reading will be helpful soon too.

Jeanette went all out with preparations for our Sunday brunch.  What a meal that was!

Dessert was this key lime pie....and it was decorated to celebrate our son's recent birthday.

Easton was invited to help Deni blow out the candles....and he found that somewhat interesting.

Before leaving the house, Easton offers an unconditional bye bye hug.

Soon to hitch up and deliver the 5th wheel to the RV repair facility

Readers may recall the early January, 2013, tire blowout we faced while on I-5 in southern California.  That caused a lot of damage to the wiring and skirting. 

 Being a polar unit - with a sealed underbelly - the tire blast left a fair bit of work to be completed back here, following the emergency repairs we had done in Bakersfield, CA.  

Our insurance company was great to deal with, to cover the emergency repairs, and we had an understanding that once back in BC, the balance of the repairs - including body work - would be completed.  That is what will happen in the weeks ahead.

A destroyed near new tire.....!

I  do have a substantive story to relate about exploding tires and will blog about that in the weeks ahead.  Before that happens, a fair bit of research is required.  I have numerous photos and I believe most, if not all, RVers will be interested in our experiences and findings.

Thanks for dropping by.
