RV Model – new entertainment center for me! :)

When we bought our 5er, it came with this funky framed-in tv in the master bedroom – while the TV itself had been upgraded, the tacky factory frame was still as ugly as ever.  (time for an RV remodel?) I asked Vaughn if he could do something about it for me  🙂 So, one day […]

Biding time…

Now that the fireworks stand is set up, we have been cleaning it; they get pretty filthy sitting all year, plus they don’t get cleaned at the end of the season – by that time, we are so tired of fireworks that we just box the foreworks up, throw them back in storage, and lock up the […]

Firework stand veterans…

This will be our 7th year of running a fireworks stand.    Actually, this year, we are running TWO.  Crazy, I know.  But, we really enjoy it!  most of the time. The past couple of days, we have been TRYING to enjoy it, but it’s been in the upper 90s, and we are in a location with 20 […]

WooHoo…moving day!!!

This is going to be my view tomorrow morning!!!  😀 For about 10 miles  🙁 ROFL!!! We will be pulling out of our camp host site tomorrow morning for our next adventure!  Fireworks!    My pyro boys are ready for some gunpowder action, so for the next 12 days, we will be stocking, manning, selling, and […]

Love my busy, industrious kids!

One of the things that we love to foster in our kids is a sense of enterprise.   We really like to encourage them to try different things, and hope that they will discover something that they would like to continue to pursue as they get older. Bethany adores all things Renaissance, and she recently found a company that sells gorgeous hairclips […]

…such a brat!!!

there is the saying that it takes all kinds.  Well, as camp hosts, we sure do meet all kinds.  Some good, some bad, some unbelievable.  There are out-of-the-ordinary things that happen to us EVERY DAY (except our 2 days off…).  I especially enjoyed this one small, humorous one today (the big stuff is usually not so fun)… […]

TOS Review…Creation Illustrated magazine…

One of the few things that we have given up for our On The Road lifestyle, is magazines – getting magazines in the mail anyway.  Most of the time, by the time that our mail has been forwarded, the magazine news articles are grossly out of date, and we are too busy to be interested […]

Thank goodness it's Sunday night! The trials of camp hosting…

and one more weekend is under our belts. It’s not that I don’t love being a campground host – I really do.  But I am continually amazed by some of the people that come through here!  Some folks just make us just look at each other in disbelief and say, “REALLY???” This weekend we had an older couple […]

taking the bait…

This is what my guys have been doing in their down time here at the lake… taking the bait…down to the lake… in the dark, where they catch a few fish, and some odd creatures to bring home and leave on my kitchen counter…. I never had any brothers, but you think that I’d be used […]

life of a camp host…

Things have been hopping around here in the life of a camp host!  I suppose it is just a mixture of being camp hosts, and having big kids, (having kids at all!)!  The littles keep us busy, but the big kids keep us even busier!   The last 2 weeks, Eli and Beth have had a booth […]
