Today Edward played on the slide with Patrick. They went down the slide over and over and over again. Patrick liked it when Edward went down the slide first.

This is the ninth evening that Edward has been posting his blog from Dalzell. It isn't the longest that Edward has stayed in one place. He has stayed in South Dakota and in Washington for longer times, but he was mostly hibernating during those winters and other times. This time he has had a little bit about the trip to post every day that the camper has been parked at Mike and Rachel and Patrick's house.

Tomorrow, however, the camper is going to be hitched up to the truck and the family will be heading back towards Washington. The plan is to follow the same route that we took to get to South Carolina, which means that tomorrow we will drive in South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. It will be a long day and there will be some rough roads and some traffic. Edward remembers that from the trip down here.

It will be hard to say goodbye to Patrick and Rachel and Mike. We have had such a good time visiting and we will miss them very much.

Edward is always looking forward to new adventures and he thinks that there will be plenty of adventure before getting back to Washington.
