We had a great conversation the whole way to the campground. We did make a pit stop in Walmart so that we could get additional supplies for the campsite. While we were there we picked through the Hot Wheels and I found some of the remaining Hot Wheels Hot Trucks series that I had been collecting. I show those in today’s vlog.
