The Bounder

Here it is...our new home away from home! We picked up the new motor home (a Class A 32' Fleetwood Bounder) last Saturday down in Indiana. We went with our friends and they followed us home - taking pictures of us along the way. The ride home was uneventful - except for the cargo door flipping open and flapping in the wind. Matt was able to pull off to the the side of the highway and close it. It was good practice for him merging in and out of traffic. Keaton and Cyrus were pretty excited and both should sleep pretty comfortably in it - Keaton on the pull-out bed and Cyrus with us (as usual). Keaton didn't seem to be too excited about driving it. (He's probably wondering how he can drive because he sleeps the entire ride in any vehicle!) I drove it through the neighborhood and decided it would be a while before I drove it on the road because it's HUGE!! It's like driving a bus. I might try driving it when we're on straight, empty roads in North Dakota and I don't have to make any turns. I figure if the road is straight enough, I can just put in on cruise control and go play cards in the back with the boys. We're looking forward to warmer weather so we can do some re-landscaping on the side of the house where we'll store the motor home. Since it sticks out a little farther than the travel trailer did, we'll need to add some more shrubs, rocks, and paving blocks. Shoot, we might even have to add a little more yard. We're also looking forward to some warmer weather so we can take it and try it out for a weekend before we head out west. Summer will be here before we know it - as soon as we get rid of all this darn snow!
