Our 17th summer RV trip with a grandaughter

As each grandchild reaches the age of 12/13 we take them with us on a one month trip as a birthday present

This year it was the turn of our 4^th granddaughter Rony to join us, the general plan was to fly with her to Toronto to visit our youngest son and his family so Rony will have a chance to meet and spend time with her uncle and cousins,after a few days fly to Spokane where our rig spent the winter in a friends property,camp with Rony in North Idaho till her parents meet with us close to the end of July and “kidnap” her ….

         

The meeting in Toronto with the Uncles and cousins was great , we all had a ball but as always it was too short and staying longer meant less RV camping time...so we flew to Spokane and had the rig ready to go in 3 days.

In Spokane it was not only preparing the rig for the trip,we found time to travel to Cour d'Alen and meet friends in the area all to make Rony enjoying her time.

Finally we said good buys to our dear friends in Spokane that took good care after our rig during the whole winter and headed to Moyie Springs Idaho, the C.G was all you could ask for,full hookups,spacious sites,shade,clean bathrooms and great beach.

As side trips we visited and hiked few waterfalls in the area,Cooper Falls,Snow falls and Moyie Falls

Trying to let Rony experience different activities we did some water activities and visiting some small towns.

Almost 3 weeks past with Rony not seeing her parents and brother and finally the the day came on the 25 July when they arrived to meet us near Farragut S.P Idaho where we spent all together another 3 marvelous days.

Our hosts and now dear friends made our stay enjoyable and comfortable as possible, it included a boat ride on the lake and a movie in the back yard, we thank them for this precious time.

So after a farewell party our son,his wife ,Rony and her brother took off to Yellowstone while we continued our journey in Idaho heading to Wallas I.D

Next grand-kid to join us is Rony's bother Tal but only in 4-5 years.....

Hope Rony is going away with many good memories...

A stop in Toronto on the way to pick the rig

Our 4th Granddaughter Rony turned 12 (Batmizva)and following our tradition we took her Rving with us we did with our other grand-kids reaching that age, in my oppinion it is the right age to take them ,they are not small kids and still will appriciate very much the memories from this trip.

We took a “short” 12 hour direct flight from Tel-Av iv to Toronto to visit our youngest son and his great family,we usually visit them twice , once on the way to the trailer and second on the way back ,this way we see them twice a year spending quality time and watching then grow, and they grow fast...

This way it also “breaks” the long trip from home to the winter storage where we left the rig at the end of the trip last year.

It usually takes a few minutes for them to “warm” up to us after seeing us only on Skype for the whole winter especially when we give them the presents….

Stating with them in the same house ,being with them from the morning when they wake up till they go to bed is a lot of fun although at the end of the day we are worn out...

On the next day it was all one big party,food family and a lot of catching up.

I still have to “survive” to be able to take them all by the time they reach the age of 12-13 ,I promise to do my best….
