Yesterday, my grandson Nathaneil @naru-celier and myself, we came from British Columbia to Arkansas to visit @papa-pepper and his family.
And here is the proof:
We had to get up at 3:30AM to catch our first flight to Minneapolis-Saint Paul at 6:30AM.
Then we took a second flight to Kansas City.
In Kansas City we took a rental car and drove for four hours and a half to Diamond City where we had a reservation in a very nice hotel/motel. We were in our room after 8:30PM. A long trip.
I then called @papa-pepper and he came to talk to us for half an our with Pinkie Pepper and Monster Truck the Pepper.
Today, the whole Pepper family came to the hotel and we all went to have breakfast in a cafe in Diamond City.
@papa-pepper, Buddy Pepper, Pinkie Pepper, Red Pepper, Monster Truck the Pepper and Nathaneil.
Then we went to the Pepper current dwelling and we took care of the animals: rabbits, ducks, chickens, guinea fowls.
As @papa-pepper explains in his post, the @little-peppers found a snake, I tried to catch it, he bit me, but I was still successful to catch it.
And Nathaneil was not afraid at all to handle the snake.
Then, we made lunch. As I am vegan, they were kind enough to use only vegetables picked up in @papa-pepper overgrown garden for lunch.
@papa-pepper chopped the vegetables.
And I help with the stir fry.
After lunch, we found another snake. I understand that @papa-pepper will make a post about this snake.
This is Nathaneil dreaming of his future on Steemit.
Then, we went swimming in the lake.
We then parted ways.
This was a good day. And we will meet again tomorrow.
YES! An excellent post about a wonderful time. I am about to post my next one of our adventures, but first I will resteem this one.

It was a lot of fun and we all got along great!
Very good post, i followed you follow me for read my post, greetings from Venezuela!!
Awesome! How did you catch the snake? Did the master @papa-pepper taught you his techniques? I hope the bite was not that painful
Nope, I did not teach him. He just walked right up to it and tried to grab it by the neck. He missed, it bit him, and then he tried again and had a great success! There was much rejoicing!
Super sweet post! This look like it has been a very fun day. The peppers, they look like super great company!
Hey I didn't remember you were vegan. I guess we have even more in common than I realized.
I look forward to this exciting trip!
I can cook vegan for you too if you ever make it down... or maybe I will just chop it up and make you do the cooking, LOL! Pretty cool stuff @teamsteem!
Oh I know! Every self reliant people like you can be a good vegan cook! And we'll most probably meet some day...
Wow what an amazing time you had , the snake part was so scary . Wish you all well (:
Upvoted and RESTEEMED!

STOPI am happy to see one of the bigest whale's family! Nice and lovely environment, family! Thank you to let us to have a closer view into your private life!
I really do get this warm, fuzzy feeling when I read this post. Do you think you will ever come to South Africa? Papa-pepper suggested awhile ago that steemians should think about a sort of bed and breakfast thing for steemians. I have since prepared my two guest rooms, and I would love to fill them with fellow travelers. So vcelier, bring your family, we would love to show you our beautiful country!
Wow.. seems u had a fun filled day. Snakes spook me so I wouldn't dare try catching one. Wishing you and the Peppers all the best, have fun tomorrow too :) post the pics :)
Fun tomorrow?

Looks like a great time with everyone, and an amazing vegan meal fresh from the garden!
