Life as a Yowler

Well we experienced a first…..we got pulled over in an RV. That was an experience. Brandon was speeding.  He was going 8mph over the speed limit. I shoved all the kids in the back bedroom like sardines  I did my best to keep them quiet. I’m thankful my kids don’t have to be quiet for…

Today at Yellowstone went much much better than yesterday. This was the Yellowstone I was picturing. The kids and I had been reading and researching, and we were really bummed after our experience last night. We saw so much wildlife today. The kids have their cameras almost filled to the max with pictures. We decided…

Yesterday went so well. We did so much more than we were planning to do. Everything went about as smooth as it possibly could. I was shocked how much there is to see in South Dakota. Today did not go nearly as smooth. That’s how traveling goes. You can’t predict weather. You also can’t predict…

What a day today! We did so many things. It exhausts me just to think about it. We went to The Badlands, Bear Country USA, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Rushmore Mountain Coaster, Needles, and Custer State Park. We set out today and decided we were going to see as much as we possibly could, but…

Today started out with Brandon doing a store training. We drove 6.5 hours to Sioux Falls and set up camp. We ate dinner quick and went and checked out the Falls. They were beautiful!!! There were rocks you could climb around on. We let the kids get out all their energy before bed. I have…

Our drive here to Rock Island was a little eventful. We had the opportunity to test the air brakes on this new RV, when we were almost in an accident. Driving through Chicago, we were following another RV who was towing a vehicle on a trailer. Somehow the trailer came disconnected. Brandon slammed and I…

Stop number one was in Ohio to pick up Brandon’s mom. She is coming along for part of the trip to help with the kids. The kids love spending time at grandma’s house. Grandma stuffed the kids pillow pets with more stuffing to make them more comfortable to sleep on. They are so excited to…

Just like that, those 2.5 weeks flew by and we are off again on our next adventure. We are towing the suburban, so we are quite the long load. Brandon has really got this driving thing down. He does really well. The last trip I was so anxious and had no idea what to expect.…

We have had way too many late nights lately. Ever since we got home we’ve been swamped. We unpacked, got a new RV, caught up on life and work, repacked, and are still currently finalizing details for the next trip.  We’ve been gone most nights until after 9pm. It’s made for some real grumps for…

We are getting ready to head out again on another RV trip. We are a little overwhelmed, but mostly really excited. Brandon has a whole bunch of store trainings to do out West. We are going to have the opportunity to go to a lot of national parks and monuments. We will see The Grand…
