Day 7 and 8  Well this was an adventure. We went into Walmart and the grocery store and had some trouble getting the steps to retract. Well good thing we stopped at the Visitor Center in Gander because the bolt under the steps broke making it impossible to retract the steps.

The girls had so much fun running and fighting.  We ended up staying near Truro in Elm River, which is very nice but both this one and another one I called and the one last night had NO TV. Crazy. But it is a nice site and we’ll have maybe a chance to watch a movi...
