Motorhome life!

Just thought I would share a few pictures of what our life is like in the motorhome...we have had so much fun renting a motorhome and traveling around! Being on the road for six weeks has been alot of fun because we have our home away from home with us all the time...our motorhome. I was just thinking today how roomy our little home feels now and boy is our house going to feel huge when we get home!! The kids have adapted well to our home on wheels and always seem to find plenty to do without arguing and picking on each other (too much!). As we have been traveling with the Germains the last couple weeks we trade kids during our long drives and the kids have enjoyed playing games together and just doing something different for a change. We have cooked alot of our own meals in the motorhomes which has saved us alot of money on this trip and is just healthier too! We do our own breakfast and lunch, but then for dinner we cook the meal together for our families. Our meals are simple, but the kids enjoy whatever we fix.

Friday night was movie night as we were driving so that is what these couple pictures are from... It was lil' Tylers turn to visit in our motorhome so he got to come for movie night! (Adams and Tyler are quite the inseparable pair. We can often find them walking hand and hand and chatting like two long time friends! They are just too cute...we call them the chocolate and vanilla twins!)

Friday we drove from Clearlake which is northwest of Sacramento to the I5 then drove the straight line up the I5 through California into Oregon and stopped for the night just outside of Portland. This morning we made a stop in St. Helens where Jen's grandma lives and then continued on up the I5 to Washington. Tonight we are staying at the Outback RV park in Rochester, WA. We are catching up on laundry, showers, and internet!

We are approaching our last week of our "big trip" (it can't be over yet?) and are going to be doing some visiting this week in the Washington/Oregon area. Tomorrow we are going to a Sierra Leone/All As One get together at Deanna's house in Spanaway, WA. There is supposed to be 40-50 people there including quite a few kids from the All As One Center in Sierra Leone that have been adopted by other families in the area. We will also be visiting more friends in the area before we head back to California towards the end of the week.

I can't believe our big trip is coming to an end! It has been an adventure none of us will ever forget...we have learned so much from the many places we have visited and the fun things we have gotten to do, and the best part has been the people we have gotten to connect with on this trip. Each day has been a new adventure from the smallest little thing like going across a bridge or seeing the awesomeness of the Grand Canyon. In this picture the kids are raising their arms like in a roller coaster ride except we are just driving on an overpass in Portland! Always something exciting and never a dull moment!!
