Life as a Yowler

We have enjoyed staying here in the Miami area. We have gone to several beaches. Being in Florida, it’s difficult to pack food because the ice inside the cooler melts so quickly. Honestly, I can make whatever excuse I want. The truth is I’m not the greatest at planning ahead enough to pack. Yesterday, Brandon…

A lot has happened in the last few days. I’ll try to summarize the main things. I’ll start with a story. Caed and Brielle basically share a bunk bed in this RV. They don’t sleep together, but they both hang out together in the bunk during the day and whenever they watch a movie. Each…

It’s been an eventful couple of days. I’ll start with the depressing. Our basement flooded AGAIN! This time it wasn’t due to a power outage. After a lot of speculating and confusion, we’ve figured out what happened. No joke two crayola markers got wedged in the sump pump. One got wedged in the main one.…

The 4th of July is one of my favorite times of year. It was a little bittersweet being gone this year. We weren’t with friends and a lot of family, like we usually are.We woke up yesterday and didn’t have any plan or any idea if we would even watch fireworks. Since being married to…

The night before we drove over to Jamestown, the older kids wanted to set up a stand and sell sea shells they found at the ocean. Joah made a sign that said free seashells. We asked him why he wrote that they were free. He said his first goal was to draw customers. 🤣 The…

Before jumping right into the beach, I’ll cover our schooling. This week we started back to school.  Sickness caused us to spend more time than usual in the motor home. We are three days in now. Last Summer, I started school with Joah before the public schools started. It gave us a nice jump start.…

Apparently there is a vicious sickness going around the Thumb of Michigan. Even though we were only home for one week, we managed to pick it up. Let me tell you, it has not been pretty. Brielle threw up right during Grant’s open house last Saturday. I didn’t think much of it, since she had…

We got back to Michigan Tuesday night very late. We spent a little time in Indiana, since we had to drop our motor home off there. It was in Wakarusa, Indiana where our motor home was manufactured. We drove it there because the bottom of the RV is still leaking every time it rains. My…

We decided to watch the Sampson show at the Sight and Sound Theatre, since we were in Branson a couple nights. I’ve got to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. If I’m real honest, I was expecting some cheesy Christian acting. Wow! Was I wrong. This was the real deal. I was blown away with…

We traveled from Texas to Louisiana, and have been staying there the last few days. Our one campground was all cement, which made Joah very happy. It was a hover boarder’s dream. We warned the kids to not get too close to the water, because Louisiana is full of gators. Caed was the child who…
