Obstacles- Natalie

OBSTACLES - in Natalies opinion (maybe everyone does not feel the same)

So, I had to once again deal with mice! They decided my motorhome was nicer then their field and tried to live here. We heard the mouse one night and I was like ‘Adam, we need to get it NOW!’  However, night one was not successful as we were not sure where it was located, but on night two was game over. Here Adam and I were crawling on our hands and knees going “I hear it over here!” but then “No it’s over here now!”  We pulled out a bunch of drawers and seat covers and found a couple areas where it had been frequenting. I made Adam go get our traps. The leftovers ones that did not work on the SUV mouse, but we brought on this trip anyways. Midnight, we set our trap line, and then we wait… 20 min later, BOOM!  Mouse down… “Adam … you need to deal with that please. That’s a blue collared job!”

Lets hope that the trap line does not get any more action.


Today we realized that our motorhome has a leak. Insert sad face here. However, I am always greatful for my amazingly handy and capable husband. We hit up a hardware store, got the sealant, and once we parked at the latest Harvest Host destination he went to work on fixing our problem. Now, I am probably over worrying, but I have him pretty much resealing the WHOLE roof and any other seals I can see.


The Big Bang Theory. Well, just to clarify, I am talking about the TV series. We have a TV in the motorhome, so before leaving on our trip we went thru our family’s DVD collection and brought along a few movies and this TV series incase we needed some time-wasters for rainy days. So, here we are over three weeks in and the kids want to watch this series. Sure, Adam and I thought that it seemed like a pretty harmless show, but our minds played tricks on us about how innocent it was. 2 shows in and the sexual innuendos and references are endless. The kids are asking so many questions. Wyatt can’t handle the awkward moments. I realize they really don’t understand much of the sexual references. Wyatt likes Walowitz and his Van shoes and joked about to grow his hair out to look like him. So funny! And now they are talking to each other with comments and phrases from the show…. ‘You’re acting just like Sheldon’…  So the obstical is, should we continue watching this show? The kids and I think its funny, for different reasons of course. Or should we shelter the kids sexual lives for a little bit longer???? Maybe not the best teaching material?


Lastly, I think I am in decorating withdrawl. I did not realize how much I love decorating my house for the seasons and celebrations that come throughout the year.  Yes, I know I'm my mother’s child. This little type of creativity fills my bucket, and I am missing that joy. The motorhome is very small on space so it is hard to decorate, and on the flip side, I dont like too much clutter. The fact that the  motorhome is never not filled with too much stuff, is also a frustration! 

However I  went out and bought lights from Costco for Christmas, as Halloween has been a wash. The kids are not interested in doing Halloween/dressing up for candy, which surprised me. I am getting festive, whether anyone likes it or not.

The Deep South

      As I mentioned briefly in the last blog, the last few days in Texas we hit up Houston. We took the longer scenic drive towards Galveston, and spent the night on the beach in Seaside before making it to Houston the following day. The drive was so beautiful, aside from the brown water in the ocean. Also, it was way more built up than the Baja. Here, all the houses are on stilts. That sure was a surprise to see. I did love how colorful they all were! I heard from a local that Galveston used to be the biggest city on the east coast way back, and then it was hammered by a storm that flooded it, causing major damage. Since then, they have raised all of Galveston 12 feet, put all the houses up on stilts (building code) and built an extensive sea wall. If anything, the US people will not back down and move their location. They will adapt! I think mother nature always wins, and because of that, this is not a place I would live. But, who am I say. Another thing I asked about ...

Nashville -Wyatt

       Chugging along going through lots of other places we arrived at Nashville. When we got to Nashville mom had already booked us a few different places to go play, see or watch something. In Nashville we went to a trampoline park called Altitude. At Altitude they had a mechanism called Wipeout. The setup for Wipeout was four trampolines in a circle and a big bar that swung around and I had to jump over it. The first time that I went on it, I was wondering how fast it could go. I think that the Wipeout mechanism was fun because if Gibson or I hit it with a part of our body and it stopped, I could push it and it would make it go twice as fast as it normally would. One time when I went to jump over it I jumped too late and my legs got hit by the soft bar and went face first into the trampoline. It felt weird to do a face plant into the trampoline because I had never done one before. Altitude also had a balance beam fighting game. When Gibson and I where fighting, I ...

I Don't Want To Title This - Gibson

  These are some highlights from, Georgia, Nashville, and Kentucky. In Georgia we did a lot, but it was raining most of the while. Georgia is known for its antiquing. We did quite a bit of antiquing. We went to 3 antiquing shops, my Omie would have been all about it. My dad got an old fishing rod to hang in his garage.   I can’t lie Georgia was a pretty cool place. I like antiquing and I loved Georgia very very much. Next I went to Nashville Tennessee. Tennessee brought some more antiquing, but this time my mom got an old, working train light. The train light has red and blue lights.   My mom also bought a ladder and some jars. In Nashville, we went to a professional soccer game, Nashville vs LA. The professional soccer game was pretty cool to see in person.   The stadium was not as big as on TV but it was still big.   The players and goalies are so good compared to my level of soccer.   I liked Kentucky. In Kentucky we met some friends named Liam and ...
