Stephen's Thoughts
Hey everyone, it's Stephen. Well I haven't done this blog thing before so here I go. So far the trip has been worth it. All the campsites have been amazing (at least I think so). The places we've been to have been amazing too. Mesa Verde was cool. It's hard to believe that people built villages into the side of canyon walls. Then comes the Grand Canyon. Well, lets just say that they got the name right on the money. Then Lake Powell was unbelievable. We learned how the Glen Canyon was built and how it fromed the lake. The boet ride was tons of fun too. Sitting out on the bow of the boat and going up and down and up and down and up and down was fun. And now we're at Zion National Park. We haven't done much besides go to the pool but I'm sure it'll be enjoyable too. The hardest part of the trip is having to leave the places we've been to. But then we just think "We're going somewhere else new and exciting." Well thats what I have to say about our trip. Keep checking the blog for new and exciting entries. See you lata!!

You Magnusons are SO GENEROUS!! Thanks for taking all of us on your adventures!! Big hug from Emily , she wants to Melissa has adopted any pets along the way or at least seen some cool animals?? Stephen...cool blog... what an awesome trip... LUCKY!!! We promise we won't make you stand up in front of youth group and tell us how you spent your summer (then again we might ..lol)At least an article in the newsletter.. ok?? It looks like you are having a trip of a lifetime, although now you all have spoiled us , we can't wait to see where you take us next summer.. can we put in our votes now?? 4th of July was the norm around here... there was a freak storm around 6 last evening that caused the Chesterfield county and Henrico county fireworks to be cancelled as lots of lines were down, didn't hit our neighborhood though.. just thunder... so we did the tv firework thing last night... can't wait hear about your 4th of July and where you were.. We spent last week at Smith Mountain Lake and we visitied the State park there.. we thought of you all and we wondered if you all had camped there before.. it was very pretty, not the grand canyon but a very beautiful place a little closer to home.... you have inspired me to go on a diet so I can fit in your suitcase next year....you all have all the fun!! Love, Ms. Ellen Ps. ( I had a bit of trouble sending this so I am praying it does not show up 4 times..I think i got it now... xoxoo miss you all SOOO much..)miss
Stephen and Melissa,
One thing we wanted to know at MT. Rushmore, but never got the answer was, Why is it call MT. Rushmore? Where did that name come from? I believe it is a person - but who?

Ellen,
We got the blog only once!!! Melissa has not adpoted any pets, but certainly has a keen eye for all things furry! Lots of folks have their pets with them in the campgrounds! Stephen has agreed to an article for the newsletter.
Never have camped at Smith Mountain Lake, but have been over there several times!
Love and kisses, Lori
