Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List
Yesterday the boys and I look a little 20 minute trip to the Wyoming Visitors Center to get some ideas about what to do in Cheyenne while we are here! What we found was quite the surprise! The visitors center was so nice! Not only did it have the typical brochures and books of places to see and things to do, but it also had a walk through history of Wyoming! This included a lot of informational push button displays, art installations, an unearthed dinosaur skeleton AND a jail cell with an escape hatch that led to a slide! The kids LOVED it and it made learning about Wyoming fun!…

Update and de-clutter of the boys’ room!
We couldn’t take it anymore! The shoes, the clothes, the toys! We had way to much of all of it! Living in an RV you have to constantly be pruning your collection of “things”. We spent almost the whole day donating, cleaning, repairing, and trashing a lot of “STUFF” in the kids’ room! Now it is much easier to find the toys, clothes, and shoes they are looking for! It feels and looks much better and is easier for the kids to clean themselves! It’s a win/win! (you can click to enlarge) We had also collected a HUGE collection of books from various trips to thrift stores and garage sales.…

We named our homeschool!
I ran across an article that talked about naming your homeschool. At first I thought it was silly, but then I realized that some states actually require you to name your homeschool and they treat it as a private school. While Texas does not require you to name your homeschool I thought it would be fun to do anyway! Why name your homeschool? – Some co-ops and umbrella schools might require your homeschool to be identified by name. – If you make a student or teacher ID you will need a school name. – Some incentive programs like Book-it ask for it. – You’ll need a name if you are…

Wyoming: First Impressions
We made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming today, Saturday, August 17. We found the campground where some of the other guys from Patrick’s work are staying and pulled in. First impressions of this place are that it looks nice… until you realize that there is barely internet and almost no Sprint cellphone service. We attempted to find the goldilocks of campgrounds here in Cheyenne, but we came up short and decided the one we are at will have to do. The others were either too far away from the job site, dusty, or way too expensive. We chose WYO campground on the East side of Cheyenne. The kids found the playground…

Headed north to Wyoming!
We had (thankfully) an uneventful, safe trip to Wyoming! After Duck Dynasty we headed north through Arkansas and then Missouri. From southern Missouri we headed west to our favorite little overnight RV spot in Kansas! We love finding these little hidden RV overnight spots! In this case the one in Parsons is only $5.00 a night with electric and water hookups! It is right in Marvel City Park and next door to the baseball fields and dog parks. There is also a tornado shelter… it is Kansas after all! Next we continued northwest through Kansas and came across another CHEAP place to stay overnight! Hill City is a TINY Kansas…

State 30: Louisiana AND Duck Dynasty!
We made it to state 30: Louisiana! We wanted to stop by the Duck Commander in West Monroe, Louisiana. We pulled in around dark and stayed the night at a campground 5 miles from Duck Dynasty Duck Commander headquarters! We got up in the morning and went and had breakfast and on to the Duck Commander warehouse! The Duckmen weren’t there as it was the season premier of Duck Dynasty season 4 and the whole family was in New York! I was a little sad because I had my heart set on meeting Si! 🙂 There wasn’t really much to the “tour”. There was really just a souvenir shop, the…
