Life as a Yowler

Yesterday was a day of exploring the campground and driving. We walked around the camp for awhile, then drove to Denver. When we got to Denver we went out to eat at an authentic Mexican restaraunt. Brandon saw on the menu something about a big burrito. They weren’t kidding. It literally could have fed our…

I woke up yesterday to the sound of the air horn blowing 3 times. I flew out of bed. I checked all 3 older kids beds. They were all 3 sleeping soundly in them. Phew! It wasn’t my kids this time. Other people have kids that are out of control too! We crammed a ton…

We are staying at the second largest KOA in the nation, The Mount Rushmore KOA. However, because of the location we don’t have cell service or internet. So this blog will have to be short and sweet, as I’m writing it between sites we are seeing today. Yesterday we went to Badlands National Park. There…

We got to see Sioux Falls during the day on our last RV trip. Seeing it at night was a whole new experience. It was awesome! We had a long hot drive yesterday. After a lot of trial and error, Lance rigged up this red neck venting system with a cardboard box and duct tape.…

The last time we traveled this way, it wasn’t nearly as hot. Anyone who knows my husband knows he keeps our house and RV like an ice box. Well driving on this almost 100 degree day through Minnesota, our RV air conditioners(notice the plural….there are two of them) can’t keep this sucker cold. It’s been…

Here we are….back at it again. We are on another RV trip. First stop…..Birch Run…..General RV it was. We have had the RV there since our last trip 4 weeks ago. This morning before we left, the big slide out quit working again. It’s also still leaking water down below the unit every time it…

Ive been falling behind on blogging due to being so busy. I’ve found it’s easier for me to write when we are out traveling, because there’s lots of downtime while Brandon is driving the RV. When we drive somewhere while home in michigan, I’m usually the one driving the kids around, so blogging might now…

Last week I drove my kids down to Indiana to see my mom’s side of the family. She has three sisters. Two of them live in Indiana and one in Colorado. My cousin Dawn from colorado came along with my aunt(her mom) Brenda and met us there. All of us cousins have kids around the…

Its been a tough week. I am so thankful for God’s hand of protection over and over. Our family is so blessed. I have had several stressful things happen this week and I nearly had about four heart attacks. On Monday night Brielle had a four wheeling accident. Her and Joah were riding around the…

Brandon and I both love Jesus, but sometimes we cuss. Today was one of those days. This is not in any way a joke. Sometimes I feel like our life is one big joke. In all reality, we have not lost electricity in the entire year and a half we have owned a generator. We…
