Lego Man's Space Adventure!

Hello! Today has been a pretty good day. After schoolwork I drew with the boys and came up with little comic strips that I thought I'd share with you. One is called "Lego Man's Space Adventure!" and the other is called "The World's Biggest Bubble Gum Bubble" I even wrote a story to go along with the Lego Man comic and I'll add that later.

Lego Man's Space Adventure!
The Lego Man comic is pretty much about a Lego man that makes a rocket ship, crashes, and alien helps him fix it and he lives happily ever after.

The World's Biggest Bubble Gum Bubble
The Bubble Gum comic is about a girl who blows a big bubble and then it pops in here face pretty much.

I think they're both pretty cool. Maybe I'll be a comic book writer haha.

Guess who!

It's been awhile since I've done anything on here, but for once it was someone other than me, I think my mom makes things sound more interesting anyways.

I finally got to go to Warped Tour and I had a blast! I got to see one of my favorite bands, Pierce the Veil. They were pretty stupendous, but We the Kings had one of the the best crowds.

I've been talking to a girl that lives on the road in an RV with her family. She has a brother and a sister and they're all triplets! You can read their blog HERE.

We're still here at Jellystone Park in Waco GA. I think we're gonna stay here until November, and then we might go to Kentucky for some Amazon job thingy. I think it might be fun to go to Kentucky because one of the families we know said that there's 5 other families on the road up there. Maybe I'll get lucky and at least one of them will have a kid around my age.

Yesterday I found something on Yahoo where people recycled old shipping containers and made them into liveable spaces. So that got us thinking, maybe we could create a music oriented resort with cabins made from shipping containers! I think that would be really cool. If you go to google and type in "shipping container houses" or something you can get some really cool pictures and on youtube there's a few tours of some, I also found some house plans that I thought were kinda cool. You can look at the house plans HERE, just scroll down and click on one.

Other than that I don't think I have anything else to interesting to talk about.

Bye!

Doing Nothing and Loving it

Dennis finally made it to Georgia. The mess is cleaned up and we are all settled into the bus again. I appreciate the A/C and a mattress soooo.... much. I don't see tent camping anytime in the near future.
Today was a day to do absolutley nothing but eat,nap,play legos with the boys,float in the pool, and just plain veg. So enjoying the day which is turning to night. Kids are off doing park activities and Den is teaching his last student for the day. than watch a movie and crash early.
Now that the bus is fixed and the sale of the house has a closing date, things seem to be looking up in the adventure of a lifetime. Life most certainly is a rollercoaster ride.

An Adventure it is

Had an awesome time in NY. I love the beach. The sand and the ocean. Can never get enough of it. LI is home and always will be. I was a bit sad to leave but excited at the same time. Adventure awaits and I am ready to explore.
We left NY on the 17th headed for GA. Den had a performance to make.
We didn't make it more than 5 min. down the road before oil began sloshing out. Our 5am departure turned into an 11am departure. We were cruising along happily until... the bus decided it didn't want to go anymore. We only made it 3hrs. Stuck on the side of the road in PA.
Finding a place to bring it and getting towed there was not as hard or expensive as it should have been THANKFULLY. Spent the night in a HOT sweaty bus beacause we couldn't run the air. Come to find out in the morning that this is not going to be an easy or quick fix. We need a new engine. GREAT!!! Now I'm really getting sick. Calm down, find a campground for a few days and we will be on our way. Most certainly we will be in GA in pleanty of time for Den's next gig. Well, we did find the most awesome campground run by an awesome couple. Shady Oaks in PA. If your out that way it's a great place to stay.
Turns out we were not getting our bus back for quite awhile. We had no choice but to pack up a tent some clothes and all den's music gear and head to GA. We also had to fit the 2 dogs and cat in the truck. The hamsters have a happy new home in PA. It was NOT a pleasant ride but we did make it.
Can you say HOT?! It was over 100 degrees the first day and hasn't cooled much since we've been here. Fisrt night I got bit by something and woke up with an eye swollen shut for 3 days. Got poured on and flooded the tent twice so far along with an invasion of ants that follow the storm. The flies just won't quit. Sitting in the tent sweltering to hide from the damn flies.Got bit again on the foot last night after all the drama and it's swollen and hurts like hell.
Got a phone call last night, "Can't find Jacque" WHAT? Needless to say I lost my flippin mind. She was at warp tour with some friends and they seperated. She was safely recovered. When I pick her up tomorrow I will count all her fingers and toes, hug her than yell at her and than hug her again. I didn't get to go to warp tour this year but that won't happen again.
This trip has started off rocky and extremly challenging. We are determined to keep pushing through. There has to be a light at the end of this hell. We are all healthy and safe and the kids are having a blast. There are bunnies,turtles,a snake,monitor,skink, and a parrot named Paco that hates me for some reason. Everytime he sees me he climbs down and chases me. I did nothing I tell ya. I'm innocent. The pool has been keeping us cool. Lack of shade has us all pretty tan. It's all good. An adventure it is.
