Things are going so good around here! Greg’s RV is now situated in a nearby RV park – he can literally walk to ‘our house’, and we get to see him every day (he doesn’t cook! LOL!). Yesterday we met Vaughn, Greg, and Eli for lunch. They were already at the restaurant, and after we pulled […]
Some of the ways we save money while traveling
By 4 Comments
during the last 2 weeks that we were on the road for the winter, Eli made a little flick to show some ways that we save money when we travel. He made it for a coupon blog film contest, and while he didn’t make it in to the top 3 finalists like he hoped to (the winner […]
travel and home gives us both roots and wings…
By 6 Comments
While we don’t like to move every day when we are traveling, we do like to change up the scenery every few days. We’ve been ‘home’ since the 2nd, parked at my (Dana’s) sister’s house; and while we have been loving every minute of catching up with their family, it has also been a time […]

While we are ‘home’ for the next few months, we will pretend to be ‘normal’. We will do things like: Visit Gramma… who we missed oodles and oodles. We will have ‘typical’ birthday parties… that include typical gift for the typical 11 year old, like high powered airsoft guns that say ‘keep out of reach […]

sometimes, life just needs to be enjoyed, not chronicled behind a camera… After we left Wilson Lake in KS, we had a long day hauling to visit family in Colorado! A long day for us is anything over 3 hours.LOL! We left Wilson Lake around noon, and pulled into Uncle Stan’s house just before 10pm (we […]

just some random pictures…since Greg got released from boot camp, the boys have been bugging him to show them some of the moves he learned in Military Police training. He’s happy to show them… tho for the record, he said that boot camp was lame. He thought it would be more physically challenging, and a […]
Wilson Lake, Kansas…

We had never been to Kansas before, let alone Wilson Lake, Kansas! Had heard that it was flat, barren, nothingness. But I LIKE flat, barren, nothingness…as long is it’s green 🙂 So, I was glad that we were driving through in the springtime! Personally, I thought Kansas had some lovely areas! And, driving through meant […]

ok, so I was wrong when I wrote yesterday that Pea Ridge was our last National Park for the trip. I hate being behind on this blog, because I forget what we did when – if it weren’t for pictures, I would have forgotten half our trip by now! After visiting Pea Ridge NB, we drove […]
Pea Ridge National Battlefield, AR…
After spending the night in the Joplin, MO Walmart, we got up the next morning and drove down into Arkansas to visit the Pea Ridge National Battlefield. This would be our first time stepping foot (or driving tire) into Arkansas, but since we were only going for the day, and not spending the night, we […]
Joplin, MO…
Our next stop would be Joplin, MO. We wanted very much to visit and show the kids the tornado devastation. Joplin was actually our first pick for a Samaritan’s Purse rebuild, but the roster for Joplin is full months out (and we now know that God wanted us in Tuscaloosa!). We were actually on the […]
