Today!!!! (day 4, april 2)

Today started out by waking up on Route 66 in a town that looked exactly like Radiator Springs from the movie Cars. There was an Italian tire shop,  a hotel that had teepee rooms (just like the cone rooms from the movie), cars that repressented almost every character, a statue at the end of the road, one stoplight, an army surplus store, and a gas station that was almost identical to the one in the movie...it was pretty cool (except we don't know the name of the town).
We then took off! We drove until we hit a little town called Alpine that was right on the border of Arizona and New Mexico. This town was very unique. There was a grocery store with no produce and a lot of candy. The store also had pickles that were packed singularly in plastic packs with pickle juice... yuck!
There was also a store called the Lollipop Shop. We though that it was going to be awesome; it turned out that almost every single solitary piece of candy was hard (we even saw mold on some of them). And, there were no lollipops! None!!!!!!!!!!!! But we still had fun because it was definately a new experience.
We drove a few more hours, crossed the border to New Mexico and made a little further south to Silver City.  We are now camping in a little campsite called Rose Valley Ranch. It is actually quite a cute little place. Once camp was set up we decided to look around at the "sites". We went to Albertson's and bought some detergent. On our way out of the store, we ran into two senior missionaries that were from Logan, Utah (Cache Valley area). They were really nice! And it turns out, Granddad Larsen worked on the sister missionaries teeth...what a coincidence!
After our little reunion, we went bowling at Silver Bowling. I got the first strike, Coby perfected his spin on the bowling ball, Sadie...nothing, Dad had perfect form, Sam was the cheerleader, and Coby won the game for mom. It was exciting! We were going to play another game, but we ended up getting kicked out by some lady who was part of the bowling league...practice was about to start. A lot of senior people came in with their fancy bowling shoes, balls, and special gloves for their wrists. I guess they were pretty serious about it.
When we were back in camp, we had a Nerf gun fight...no big deal.
Now we are in camp...relaxing while mom and dad are getting some change for laundry, and I am writing on my blog, drinking hot chocolate, and living the good life.
