Weekend Fun

Well, it's been quite a while, so I figured I'd post something on here to fill everyone in on what we've been up to.
A few weeks ago we went to a little town thingy a little ways up the road. It was pretty much empty, but we got some neat pictures there. There were train tracks going in between buildings and it was just a neat little town.

After that we went to a "ghost town" although it honestly was not much of a ghost town. There were houses all up and down the road and all there really was was a cemetery. Some of the headstones were from way back in th 1800's. The cemetery was a little weird though, because most of the graves were fenced in, but there was one part where there were just a bunch of them sprawled out in a little clearing by the road.

Last Friday we went to Cheaha State Park in The Talledega National Forest. There were a bunch of trails and stuff to walk up and we chose the Silent Trail (we weren't very quiet). We walked about a mile until we came to the waterfall we were looking for. There wasn't a whole lot of water because the river was low, but either way it was beautiful! We got to climb on the rocks, and everything, there was even one part where there was water coming of tree roots so it was just like and shower and the boys actually went and stood under it. The water was incredibly soft and clean too. We had pictures, but I don't think they're on the computer, and I don't feel like uploading them, maybe later.

This weekend was a blast! There were a bunch of kids here for Labor Day weekend and the campground had a bunch of activities. There was a Pinewood Derby Car Race thing, the  boys made cars and were obsessing over them, trying to make them as fast as they could without going over the weight limit. Some old guy I think won 1st place, some kid got second, and I think one of my brothers friends got 3rd. I'm sure if that's exactly right though, because I was in the bus, sick. There was a glowstick train ride too. When me and my brothers got on everyone started screaming and there was one girl who was probably 8 or 9 who kept saying "Stop! Stop screaming! You're gonna make my ears bleed! Please! Stop!" and she would scream at the top of her lungs and say "Now stop!!!!!!!!!!!" It was kind of funny honestly. There were also a bunch of kids chasing the train and jumping on the back of it, which the boys and I joined in on when we got off, but after that rounf they told us we weren't allowed to do it anymore because someone might get hurt, I guess they were right, but come on! We were having fun, I don't think we were being to stupid. Last night they had a campfire/cookout. My dad played some acoustic rock covers, we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and just had ourselves a good 'ole time! After the campfire the boys got Brad's had (Brad is out parent's new buddy and a guy that works here) so he chased them around for a couple of hours and got Rickey in the pool, then I joined in. When he finally got his hat back all the kids (I mean almost all the kids in the campground) tackled him and we got it back. He said he'll chase us for it again to day after he gets off work and he also said that me and my brothers are all getting thrown in the pool.

I started making some bottlecap necklaces. Some of them actually turned out pretty cool. I think I'm gonna put them up for sale on my store when they're all done.

So all in all this weekend has been pretty good for the most part, by far the most fun I've had on this adventure so far. As of yesterday, I don't want to leave this place, it's to much fun on the weekends.

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.
