12 kids, 400 sq ft, 7+ years on the road...
Since we started traveling 4 years ago, we have lost a lot of items to nature and the elements. We’ve had to replace several cameras because we got sand in them, we’ve ruined books at the lake and beach, and we’ve even had clothing we had to throw away after playing in the ocean and […]
This past weekend, we set up both of our 40′ firework stands. The big boys (Greg, Jake, and Eli) shot 3-Gun on Saturday, where they took 3rd, 5th, and 6th in their class (something about open sights I think)! 🙂 Monday came, which meant everything that comes with firework season was suddenly upon us! We picked […]
On Friday, we finished our last leg of the fast trip home. 1450 miles in 2 and a half days – not bad for us. We never choose to move that far that fast, but we wanted to stay and volunteer in Moore for as long as possible. On the way home, we made lots […]
3 weeks seemed like such a long time! But it has flown by, and it’s time for us to put away the gloves and chainsaws (and Sharpie markers), and wrap up our time in Moore. The littles are going to miss all the frogs and toads they have been finding around here!On Tuesday, the littles and I […]
Just a quick note since I’m too tired to blog; besides, Beth already did it! LOL! The littles and I were without a vehicle today since Eli and Beth took the van to work with the clean up crew. Vaughn, Jake, and Thomas, took the truck to return the skidsteer to the rental store, then caught […]
We started out Father’s Day by getting ready to go to church… After church, we made a quick lunch, and then headed north for a special outing. A man at church had given us tickets to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum!!! Enough tickets for our whole family (that is here anyway!)!!! Just up our alley, […]
Since we travel so much, I now love teaching geography! Well, I don’t like ‘teaching’ it, but I do like for the kids to learn it – it now seems so much more relevant! We have visited 39 states so far…who knows, maybe we will get to travel beyond the US borders one of these […]
~~warning… rambling tangent 😉 I will readily admit that I have a hard time, each time that I blog about Moore. There is so much that I want to share with you, but I have a tough time knowing how much is enough, and how much is too much. I have shared some of the downfalls […]
But there is a reason for everything, even in disaster relief volunteering! Today was a busy, and interesting day for us… Vaughn, Jake, Thomas, Daniel, and Joel, worked one last day with the bobcat. It was humid and hot again today (but it’s going to get down into the high 80s in the next couple days […]
We’re still plugging away! 🙂 The day started out with one of the kids leaving the door open to let in the cool 7am morning air…which also let OUT Molly and Caleb, who went out looking for toads (which are all over when it’s cool out). They found the mud puddle outside of the camper instead… […]
We are a fulltime RVing family of 10 (+ 4 more grown and flown) that have been on the road for over 6 years. Nature/creation lovers, Jr. Ranger aficionados, relaxed roadschoolers, and enthusiastic disaster relief volunteers, we are always on the lookout for a new adventure!
