Living the High Life

One of Dale's best customers is Keith.  He buys new cars frequently and likes electronic toys to go in them, and we like that he likes that. He also has a big beautiful farm with horses and a big nice RV that was getting repaired near us. He asked Dale if he would/could drive the RV to his farm recently and Dale jumped at the opportunity. Dale can drive anything with wheels so he wasn't scared stiff like I would have been.  He asked Keith if he could take us with him and he said yes.  So, we all headed to Camping World to get in the RV. 

And we took off for the hour drive to the farm.  It was really neat to travel in that big rolling house. And while we were very excited to "ride in style", we really didn't know how to operate ANYTHING.  There were so many buttons and things.  We didn't even know how to electronically pull the steps in without help.  One of the workers showed us how to do it, and we were off. 

And having fun.....except we couldn't figure out how to turn the A/C on in the back part of the RV so it was REALLY hot.  And we couldn't figure out how to turn the TV/Satellite dish on so we couldn't watch TV.  And the first left turn we made, the refrigerator flew open and all the stuff in it flew out.  All the ice had melted so there was water all over the floor now.  Oops!  But it was nice to lay back and relax.  We should have grabbed some lunch but we were afraid to stop anywhere in that big bus.  :)

Once we got there, we gave the RV to John (his helper) and then John set the kids up to ride their prize winning horses.  They helped suit them up and rode them and then helped wash them down afterwards. Their barn is nicer than our house-and cost more too.. The kids had a great time riding the horses.

And then John gave us a tour of the houses on the property.  Keith doesn't even live here since he got divorced but his kids and ex-wife live in one house and his parents live in another house.  They have several golf carts, so we got on 2 of them and took the grand tours.  Each house has a beautiful pool (with waterslides) and they live on the lake with a boat they never use.  Each house has a weight room and media room with seating for about 32 of your closest friends. One house even has a burger joint in the basement media room to make dinner for your guests.  One house has a bowling alley. These houses really were AMAZING!!

We got to tour the houses and they were gorgeous but I didn't feel like I should take too many pics inside.

After our tours, we crunched into one of his cars and John took us back to our van at the RV dealership.  We had a great day even though it was HOT HOT HOT!!  I actually ended up getting sick because I hadn't eaten or drank enough during the hottest part of the day. But it was a wonderful day of living the high life....we can pretend, right?!?
