Bison

6 days in...

We are loving the ranch that we are camping at. It's a little bit further south so we are exploring some new areas, especially now that #1, the rain has cleared up, and #2, I have stopped puking (no one else got it thankfully!).

The weather is beautiful, and I'm (surprisingly) enjoying life in the trailer! It's mostly stress-free, and right now there are 2 families with 11 kids between them (all over the age of 10) camping next to us so we have acquired some built-in entertainment for the boys!

Today we went to a pancake feed at a small town a little ways away, then went and explored the mountains a little. Then we came back home, went for a bike ride, and cooked some yummy quesadillas & corn over the campfire (followed by marshmallows). Now it is bath & bedtime!

Exploring

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It as rained every single day. Pretty much nonstop. Last night it stopped for about 10 minutes right after John came home from work, and today there has been a couple of 5-10 minute breaks but really, I'm ready for some SUN. And so are the boys!

I've been driving the boys about 45 minutes (one way) to school every day and that's starting to get old too, but next week is their last week and it's only 3 days! Hopefully the weather will turn nice and warm soon so the boys can play outside a little more, especially when school is out!

The Adventure Begins

We are moved! All of our stuff is in a 12'x25 storage unit and we have officially moved in to our new living quarters.

We found a ranch with full hook-ups near John's work and we're considering staying here for at least the first month...we may take a few weekend trips here and there.

We didn't get here until about 7:30 pm, so by the time we got settled we (well John and I anyway) were completely exhausted! So far so good, except for the sleep deprivation.

We had one minor casualty today that turned out to have an okay ending. John was taking a load of stuff to the storage unit and B had left his strider bike behind the truck tire...and it is now in many, many pieces. But B learned to ride his "real" bike today because he didn't have the option to ride his other bike! Go B!

Here is a picture from bedtime tonight: John reading Narnia to the boys.

Countdown

Closing got moved up on our house so the countdown has just gone to a really scary number: 5 days until we are full time trailer living!

Just a Quote

Today I found an RV Cookbook for free for my nook. Truthfully it didn't have much in the way of recipes that I will actually use, but it did have this quote in it that I really like:



Lots of people think we are crazy for spending the summer in a trailer, and really, we might be a little...but this pretty much says it all!
