12 kids, 400 sq ft, 7+ years on the road...
We got up early and moved a ways down the road, making an overnight, unplanned stop. We decided that we really didn’t want to keep playing leap frog with the storm, so we stayed behind it and made a detour into the Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) – there are actually 2 distinct parts to […]
Chalmette Battlefield (NPS site) wasn’t on the roster, but we made it there anyway! Last Wednesday, while we were staying at Fontaineblue State Park in LA, we drove down into New Orleans for the day. Our first stop was to the Jean Lafitte National Park, Barataria Preserve; JELA consists of 6 sites. After the kids had […]
Thanks to blogger’s new pic uploading, you get a huge picture of Caleb 🙂 Not sure how it happened, but it’s pretty cute, huh? 😉 Earlier this week we spent 2 wet, muggy nights at Fontainblue State Park just north of New Orleans. Despite the less than desirable weather, we really enjoyed our time there! […]
-While we really enjoyed our time at Colorado River, there is also a sense of excitement when it’s time to once again holler, “Load Up!!!”… Monday night found us preparing to leave in a torrental downpour – there was a crazy rain and lightning storm that came through and dumped rain much faster than the […]

Blogger has redone their picture loading format, and I have yet to figure it out, so my pictures uploaded all out of order and I can’t seem to move them around, so this is a rather eclectic post (not suprised tho huh??? 😉 We really enjoyed the Colorado River Thousand Trails park. It was a […]
The past 2 weeks have been spent camping near Columbus, Texas at the Colorado River Thousand Trails RV Park about an hour west of Houston, TX. The reason that we spent 2 whole weeks here was so that Vaughn could take a catastrophic claims adjuster course in Katy, which is on the west side of Houston. We hope […]
One thing that I have struggled with on the road is the fact that, being a voracious reader (and an admitted lover of just LOOKING at my shelves and shelves of beautiful hardcover classics), …that I cannot bring my books with me. When we first started out on the road, we didn’t bring ANY books […]
We recently had the opportunity to use The Art of Argument curriculum in our schooling.What a fun way to learn how to spot Reasoning Gone Wrong!!! Published by Classical Academic Press, The Art of Argument is a curriculum designed to teach reasoning to 6th through 9th graders, but can be used for older kids as […]
Beautiful beach… relaxing surroundings… and the best kids ever to liven it up… 😉 we found several dead Portuguese Man o’ War… which supposedly can still sting you when they are dead. we played with some of them quite a bit and survived without war wounds… Sea gulls are such beggars! Eli was coming back […]
