Welcome to our Adventure...

We packed up the kids, dog and the trailer and headed out for adventure, learning and helping others. During our adventure we will try to update this site as often as possible to keep everyone interested involved in our travels and to keep a journal for ourselves. The plan is to be working, schooling, helping and sharing on the road for a year.
Please feel free to post comments and questions! Thanks for following!

Catch Up Day

With all our fun field trips and excursions we took this week, we had a little cleaning to catchup on especially with all the wind too...lots of dust. So we took today to leisurely get the inside of the trailer all spiffed up because Brock and Bri are coming home tomorrow! Yay!! We've missed them so much. It was a gorgeous day...sunny and about 75 degrees and no wind!

I got our sheets washed, dried and put back on.

I made some potato salad. It was the last thing on my list of "things to eat that would gross out my hubby if he were here". Ha ha ha.

In the late afternoon, we decided to head to a little strip mall we'd seen that had a Great Clips and an Olo Yogurt Studio. Spencer still hasn't had a haircut since he was supposed to pay for his own after running away from my clippers and he's getting pretty roosterish in the back. ;o) Since everyone worked together on our cleaning chores, the frozen yogurt was to be our treat. When we arrived at the Great Clips, there was a 20-minute wait. We were all looking forward to attending a Saturday night church service at Sagebrush Community Church which started about an hour from then. Sooo, we decided to forego the haircut and just get yogurt. Mmmm. It was good. They had nummy flavors and lots of toppings that we hadn't seen before.

We finished eating our yogurts just in time to drive to church and arrive on time. Skylar decided he wanted to brave the kindergarten class this time, so we got him checked into the system and got name tags printed for he and Spence and they both got checked into their rooms in a smooth fashion. The kids classes were pretty big with probably at least 30 kids in the Kindergarten class and more in Spence's 3rd to 5th Grades class. Sky looked a little apprehensive about things as I was leaving, but he did great and had a fun time. (When I came to pick him up, I peeked in and saw he was playing tabletop air hockey with another boy and laughing.)

Bryn and I enjoyed the main service too. The lead pastor was teaching tonight and we got to watch several baptisms. I liked that they had a camera closeup trained on the people's faces and they had three big screens at the front of the room so you had a great view. The music was really good. There was a funny video at the end to recruit people for their parking ministry. We've never really felt at home in a mega-church before, but if we lived here, I could see attending this church. I really like the way they do things and they seem to have a lot of participation from their members in a variety of different ministries.

On the way back to the trailer, we stopped and filled up our gas tank at Costco. When we got to the campground, there was just time for the little boys to have a quick dinner and get ready for bed.

Yay, tomorrow, we get to see our guys!!
