I decided that since we are planning on coming back to this hosting job next summer – IF they will have us, 🙂 – that I would move things around this campsite to the way I would like them! So, last night, Eli brought the Kubota down from his job at the campground, and he […]
large families and fulltime rving
By 6 Comments
I received an email from Stephanie asking a few ?s of how we do things – thought that I’d just answer them on here in case anyone else out there is wondering how a family of 13 handles these things in an RV 🙂 If you don’t mind, could you give me an idea of […]
cooking in an rv
By 2 Comments
One of the things that we heard about living in an RV longterm, is that we would eventually evolve away from perpetual camping. You can only ‘camp’ for a certain amount of time, and then it changes to normal life, just happening in an RV. For us, this was a gradual process; it took a […]
catchin' up…
Weekend before this past one was the Camp Mak-A-Wish Walleye Benefit here at the campground, and it was incredible! We ran at about 85% full, and we did not have a single incident! To me that was such a blessing! The weekend before was terrible, and, had it been our first weekend, we would have […]

Lately, we have just been hanging out at home… We don’t do a lot of extras right now, just taking care of the campground and living life with an rv full of kids (even tho some of them are all grown up, they will always be my KIDS). We are getting used to having electricity […]
Our little J is a big 7!

This year, I’m not sure that we qualify as ‘camping’?.?He decided that he would like to celebrate his […]

I actually wrote this Friday night, but didn’t post it because I thought maybe I was being a major complainer. I have decided though, that it was how I felt so… I am totally on here to rant/complain/whine… Because I know that once I vent, life will be good again. So, here goes… Have I […]
you have how many kids???
By 4 Comments
The comments started flying long before we had 11 kids – somewhere around 4. We all went everywhere together, and an outing was sure to produce at least one of the usual questions…‘Don’t you know what causes that?’‘Are you Mormon or Catholic?’ (neither – we’re Baptist, and they think we are strange too!)‘Do you own […]
volunteering while traveling…

We are not big planners. We like to dream, but that is a lot different than planning! Last winter, our plan was to travel for the winter, both visiting historic sights and volunteering with some ministries. We had such a great time on the road that we have decided to travel for a few more […]
