Hey y’all!

Well God has definitely shown us where He wants us. Without a doubt. He wants us in Westport, WA.

The boys love the school, and have been involved with many different activities so far this year. TJ is an active weight lifter as well as being the starting JV offensive Lineman with a spot on the Varsity team next year. Lucas has progressed so much in reading, and now recognizes words fairly regularly, his teacher is a huge blessing, and has figured out the key to unlocking his brain! He also played PeeWee football part of the season, but decided to stop because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, which is understandable. He wants to try soccer next season, so that will be neat!

We have been given multiple opportunities to be active in our church, with me being one of the drummers on Sunday morning services ( another guy and I switch every-other week), and we have helped at several functions at church, including the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat. I had photos, but they seem to have disappeared......

So here’s the main reason behind this update. We are selling the bus. God's Grace Skoolie will no longer be ours. It will be having a new home in Phoenix,AZ. God has provided us a new home, being a Jayco travel trailer. It has a bunk house for the boys' room which give them the room two growing boys need. God has shown us that He wants us here, so we are acting on it. A more permanent home, but still with the ability to travel if He shows us to head out again in the future. Granted we have to sell the Subaru and Jeep to get a truck to pull the trailer, but that’s in the future, and God will provide that when we need it.

Ok, well I guess I’ll sign off for now, we’ve really loved traveling and meeting new people and seeing new places and spreading Gods love. Thank you everyone for reading our blog and following us through our travels. Please continue praying for us, that God continues to use us for His Will.

Praise the Lord!

June, 2018 Westport, WA

Hey y’all! Sorry for the delay in posting, we have just been super busy this month. 

On the 1st we moved to American Sunset RV Park in Westport Washington. This place is super nice! They have a heated outdoor pool, a decent sized playground, paved roads, 20amp/30amp/50amp plugs as well as water, sewer,and cable at every site. The staff are all work-campers, and are super laid back and friendly. It’s almost exactly 1mile to the beach which is a State Park, so while there is a $10/day or $30/year pass required, there are multiple bathrooms, showers for surfers/swimmers, and the normal cleanliness of a State Park. 

We feel that God is leading us to hang out here for a while, and even to enroll the boys in the school here for next school year, both boys need to have friendships that last longer than a weekend. We have fallen in love with the town, found an awesome church that has a good sized youth group (South Beach Christian Center), and the friendliness of everyone we meet is totally awesome. There is even a wicked cool surf shop here less than a mile from us! TJ is trying to get a job at one of the many “Mom-n-Pop” restaurants in town, since they will hire at 15yrs old. 

We did end up traveling back to Idaho for my best friends Celebration of Life, and while we were there, God provided us with a new (to us) Subaru Outback, that is  like the one we owned 3or so years ago. Our GMC broke the clutch fan and blades and shroud en-route to Idaho and we didn’t have the $400 to replace it. We ended up giving the car to a good friend of ours that could fix a car, just not afford to buy one. God blessed not only us, but her as well with a new vehicle. 

Praise the Lord for He is Great! He provides all our needs!

So while this will be the last post for a while, please continue to pray that God uses us for His will, and that We keep our eyes on Him. 

God bless y’all!

May 10, 2018 Ocean Shores Washington

Hey y'all!

So here we are in Ocean Shores,WA in JB's RV Campground. Now, we've stayed in some really nice places and we've stayed in some pretty "sketchy" places during this adventure, but this place is kinda a mixture of both.

The good: we are just about 50yrds from sand trails that lead another 100yrds to the beach, so that's cool. Especially since we can drive right out on the beach and for miles up and down the beach as well... that's really cool! The surf is rougher than other places with only 8-9seconds between waves (makes paddling out a bit more difficult, as well as recovering from eating it a bit harder), but it's good to learn to handle the rough waters with the calm waters.

The bad: the bathroom/shower-room has to be the worst we have yet to experience. It is a shared one room bathroom with one shower (no door, just a nasty shower curtain), 2 toilets, and 2 urinals. The door doesn't lock or even close completely, so we had to fashion a lock with a piece of 550cord. There are holes drilled into the floor just outside of the shower pan to let water drain onto the ground, so the floor is getting soft there....

That's all I have to say about that.

The managers/owners however are great people, and very helpful when registering, but unfortunately that doesn't quite make up for them not cleaning the bathroom in at least a week (hairs, webs, no TP at all, and dirt everywhere). We had planned on staying here for the summer, but ya, NOT! We will be glad to move on the first of June.

We found a beautiful RV Park (American Sunset RV) in Westport, WA that has multiple clean, seperate showers/bathrooms, and it's only about a mile to the beach. We have learned that the bathrooms will be the first thing we check before paying at any other place we go!

We plan on staying there for the summer, so I might not update this to much. However, if God does something with us, or an amazing thing happens I will definitely bring y'all up to speed!

Well, I guess that's it for now, Please keep praying for us, that God will take us where He can use us.

God Bless!

April 2018 one year in the bus

Hey y’all! So one year in the bus, wow! What an adventure it has been! We’ve seen so many places, met so many people, enjoyed the company of many great churches, it’s been great!

Now  even though we miss our home church, and our family and friends there, we feel that this journey has made us closer as a family and closer to God then we’ve ever been before. The faith that God has given us during this last year has been almost scary at times, up and leaving a place that is comfortable for an unknown place, gets scary, but  with God as our pilot and director and protector, we’ve been fine.

So we are going to do it again. Leave the security of Crescent City,CA for Ocean Shores,WA. We found an RV park 1/4mile from the beach that looks like a pretty nice, so we are heading out tomorrow morning. Please pray that everything goes good and that God gives us the opportunity to spread His word.

I’ll update when we are settled.

God bless y’all!

A month away..... 3/29/18

Hey y'all!

So we have a new thing going on, we have to be in Idaho for doctor appts and various other reasons, so we decided to store the bus for the month and stay with family.

The fuel cost to drive the bus and car the 800 miles back to Kooskia, along with space rent at an rv park there, would have left us with little money left over, so that's why we decided to just take the car.

I won't have cell service once we get into town (gotta love tiny towns), so I'll update when we get back to the bus on or around the 1st of May.

God bless y'all!

3/7/18 Crescent City, Ca Round 2!

Hey y'all!

So I'm writing this one on Sunday the 11th, but should have written it on the 7th, so that's why the date is the 7th.

Anyways, we made the drive. We are back in Crescent City, CA. So glad to be done that drive! Before we drive the bus back across, we have to have the gears re-done in the pumpkin, 60mph max takes FOREVER!!!! Either change the gearing, or we will have to get a new commuter-style bus... Like a greyhound, or a tour bus. (Preferably one with a toilet already installed and working!)

So, back to the trip.... We ended up staying in truck stops the entire trip, which saved us easily $300+, so while it was cold at night, it was a good thing. We drove from Gautier, MS up through Shreveport, LS. Then we drove up through Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM, then on to Flagstaff, AZ. From there we went through Bakersfield, CA up to Yuba City, CA where we stayed 2 might because of family we have there.  On the morning of the 7th we headed out for the final 300+/- miles up to Crescent City.

Needless to say, we are glad to not drive for a while! We are grateful to have the opportunity to be back at the beach, it is absolutely beautiful, even though we need to buy Wetsuit boots and gloves so we can surf for longer than 45min or so! Shanesta and Lucas need new wetsuits with long sleeves and legs, the summer suits don't really work in 50degree water! But that will come with time. The days of board shorts and t-shirts to surf are on hold for a while! Hahaha!

Well that's about it for now, we are heading back to Idaho on the 1st of April, so I will update more later.
God Bless y'all!

Leaving Mississippi, heading West

So after a very long, warm, sticky month We are leaving Mississippi tomorrow. (WoooHooo!)

We met a bunch of nice people here, went to a great church, and enjoyed the respectful attitude of most people here in the South. We got to put our feet in the Gulf of Mexico, grabbed some of the white sand, and found out the reason there are no surf shops around this part of the country.... It's the same reason they're are none in Idaho.... No waves!

So here's our basic itinerary for the next phase of traveling:
Here to Shreveport, Louisiana
To Childress, Texas
To Albuquerque, New Mexico
To Williams, Arizona
To Bakersfield, California
To Corning, California
To Crescent City, California
We will travel about 400miles each day, some days more depending on how we feel, but we only have the car dolly for 8days, so we will see how things will go. Both Shanesta and I will be sharing the driving, and we will be Boondocking at truck stops or Walmarts along the way. I'm not sure about updating as we travel, it depends on service, and how tired we are.

I ask that you pray for us, that we remain safe and that God puts His hand of protection around us and our bus and car while we travel. Thank you all for your prayers so far, please continue!

God bless y'all, talk to y'all later

2/3/18 Santa Maria RV Resort Mississippi

Hey y'all!

So we didn't get to update last night's stay because of horrible connectivity, but we spent last night at Island Retreat RV Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It was a nice park fairly close to Gulf of Mexico beaches. They give veterans discounts so it was only $33 for the night, which was good!

Tonight, and for the rest of the month we are at Santa Maria RV Resort in Gautier, Mississippi. It looks to be a former resort where the Rich-n-Famous would have stayed prior to Hurricane Katrina. The 5000+sqft lodge has been ruined and I'm not sure if they have the income to re-build it any time soon. However, the staff are extremely nice and very helpful when we were selecting a nice level spot for our stay.

We are just down the road several miles from the beaches, which is good, but we did a little exploring today, and found out that we won't do any surfing here or anywhere on the Gulf (unless there is a storm with wicked winds). That's a bummer. Oh well, we are here for a purpose.

Well gotta run for tonight, we have to find a church for tomorrow, and get to bed. God bless y'all!

2/2/18 Walmart in Live Oak, Fl

Hey y'all!

So as the name says it, we spent the night at Wal-Mart in Live Oak, Fl. (Not very Florida-ish.... No sand, No palm trees.... Just Fl licence plates) Harry, the Walmart CSM whom we asked permission to spend the night, was really nice and friendly. Apparently lots of people spend the night here, So there was no questioning. Here's our neighbor this morning.....

Really nice bus, though it looks factory made. We are thinking band, or race car/truck driver due to the big trailer. They have the money to idle all night long, so they are doing pretty good at whatever it is they do!

So today we're heading father West. Where we will stop, who knows, but we will be stopping for the month in approximately 30gallons of fuel (We have a full tank right now, but don't like getting below 1/2 tank when traveling) plus an additional $50 worth of fuel.

We found out that the bus uses $70+/- worth of fuel going the same distance as $20 worth of gas in the car..... Sheesh!

Ok, well we are off. Please continue praying for us as we travel. Thanks and God Bless!

Heading West in the morning 2/1/2018

Hey y'all!

So after an amazing few months in central Florida, we feel that God is calling us to travel again. This time we will be heading West along the southern border of the US.

So tomorrow morning, we head out. I wanted to thank y'all for keeping up with us on our adventure so far, keep in tune as we will be updating the blog often while we are traveling West, like we did while traveling both South along the Wa, Or, and Ca coast as well as while we traveled to the East Coast.

While we are sad that we are leaving the beautiful, warm Florida coast, we are excited for where God will bring us next!

Please pray for us. Pray that God will guide us, protect us and our vehicles, and send people to us that need to hear His word.

God bless y'all, and talk to y'all in a few!

Cape Kennedy KOA, Mims, Florida

Hey y'all. Sorry for the long delay from my last post, we have been loving Florida weather. Were been here for just over a month, and have only had about 4days where it was cooler than 70degrees.

We've gotten to see my family a few times and been to the beach to surf a few times as well, though not as much as we would like, but that's because we are about a 40min drive to them and the beach.

We went to a Church in Titusville (about 5 miles away) for the first 2 Sundays, but we didn't come away feeling we learned anything, so we found another church in Titusville that does that for us. It's called The Pentecostals, and is a great church. The Lord moves freely in that church, and the Pastor isn't one to feel forced to follow a schedule. As in, he won't stop praise and worship of the Lord so he can try and teach about the Lord. When the Lord moves in your heart, you need to stop and listen. When the Lord moves in the church, you have to stop and praise and worship Him.

So the surf here hasn't been to awesome, the swell is out until after Christmas, according to magicseaweed.com, surf-forecast.com, and Surfline.com. so we are only getting 1-1 1/2ft waves that break in about 3ft of water, but it's still tons of fun!

We picked up a 12ft epoxy surfboard for $75, and Lucas and I can surf together on that. Either he stays laying down while I stand up, or I stay on hands/knees while he stands up.

He was so excited he was hooting and hollaring when he gets up, he does it all by himself! TJ has a 9'4" Surf Core board that he is working on getting up, but his shorts were to tight on his thighs last time we went out, and that prevented him from having the flexibility he needed, otherwise he would have probably gotten up too! Shanesta definitely loves the warmer water! Going from 52degree water on the west coast to 70degree water on the east coast had definitely been a good thing! No need for wet suits with hoods and wishing you had gloves and boots the whole time! Instead of getting out because you can't feel your hands/toes, now you get out because your exhausted!

Here's how we've been getting around lately, we've gotten it to work ok enough to travel the 30miles or so, but we are limited to 45-50mph max because of a death wobble we have to fix after the first.

Well I gotta run for now, God Bless, and Merry Christmas!

Goose Bay Marina and Campground, Maryland

Hey y'all!
So we made it to the east coast! We are in Welcome, Maryland at Goose Bay Marina and Campground. It's a decent place with water and power, a well as free toilets and showers. There is a large section of permanent RVers that have all kinds of trailers, RVs, and large motorhomes with a huge variety of porches and decks. There is a large section of "dry-dock" where boats of all shapes and sizes are stored out of the water. We plan on walking through there and checking them all out the next nice day we have.... It had been raining allot lately, but that's November in MD!

Anyway, my best friend passed away two days ago, but he's a Christian so I know I will see him again one day, so we took a trip over to Calvert Cliffs State Park to try and clear our heads.

When I was about 12-14yrs old my school took us out there and I found some shark teeth, so being this close (only about an hour drive from the campground), naturally we had to go check it out! Here's what it looks like.... That's the southern Chesapeake Bay, and while it is salt water, it's just not quite the "Atlantic Ocean" as we are wanting to be at. Ya know.... sandy beach, waves, surfing, boogie boarding.... Ocean!

We used a few of the state-provided sieves and collanders to "mine" for shark teeth and after an hour or so we had all found at least one! Here's a picture of what we found.

The biggest tooth is slightly smaller than a Quarter. We all had allot of fun and enjoyed the 1.8mile hike to the water and then back. It definitely helped clear our heads as we had time to relax and remember.

We will be heading to my parents house next week (an hour or so North of us) for Thanksgiving, then after the first, Cocoa Beach, Florida here we come!

Happy Halloween 2017

So hey y'all, It's Halloween day, 2017 and we are leaving Dickson Tennessee to head to Westmoreland Tenn for three night and then off to West Virginia. We were planning on staying in WV for most of the month of Nov, but that will depend on night time temps. We didn't design the bus for "cold" weather. Below 50degrees at night is kinda uncomfortable. Heaters going full blast is fine if electric is included, but when its separate, you can see the dial speed up hahaha!

So anyway, God had shown us the great hospitality of the South, along with letting us meet some great people. While we can't wait to move on, it was great being here.

West Virginia (and then back to the ocean for more surfing) here we come!

God Bless y'all!

Deer Lodge........ NOT! 10/7/17

Sooooo, prayers have been answered, the fuel filter was the problem! 5 minute fix and we are running like new! God put the people in our path who had the knowledge and the part we needed.

If you're in Missoula, MT and have any issues or questions, stop by Inland Truck Parts & Service and talk to either Mark or Randy. Both guys know their stuff. (406-728-7413) They didn't have the filter we needed, but called around, found one and reserved it for us. Then gave us exact directions on how to get there (Napa)

When we got to Napa, God helped us again. They were having their 1 week only filter sale, 50% off! So less than $8.00 and 5 minutes and we are rolling!

So now we are at Billings MT KOA, which is the very first KOA ever made. We played some mini golf after dinner, had a long, hot, and Free shower, and now we are using free wifi to update! $35 forthe night includes the showers and toilets which are open 24/7 and heated, pull through sites which easily fit our 32ft bus with our Jeep Wrangler attached, a nice picnic table, fire pit, and metal swing. In the summer they open the pool and jacuzzi, but it's kinda cool and raining, so it's closed.

So after an almost 300 mile drive its good to sit and relax being warm, and clean, and comfy. Tomorrow we plan to try a long day, 400+ miles, because we don't want to be forced to rush to get to where we are going (Tenn) by the 14th.

So I'll sign off for now, but don't forget to praise the Lord for His mercy and grace.

Deer Lodge, MT

Hey y'all. It's Oct 7th and we are in a truck stop in Deer Lodge Montana. We pulled in last night while on the way to Butte because we were losing power. 45mph in a 65mph zone (80mph for cars) is not good. The bus was blowing gray-ish-blue smoke when trying to "push it" to get up to 50/55mph. Let off, smoke stops. After some research, we've found the smoke is from incomplete combustion..... To much fuel in the cylinders (throttle to the floor - no change in rpms - extra fuel that isn't burnt right - smoke). So no worries there.
As for the loss of power, we are finding that we might have a partially plugged fuel filter. For one at Napa, will install it shortly.

Please pray everything works out.... 2000 miles at 45mph would take forever!

God bless!

August 28,2017

Hey y'all. So we are back to the surface of the sun. Opps, I mean back in Kooskia, ID.... Sorry for the confusion!

Man, other than seeing friends and family, I no longer enjoy being here. I have developed a wicked dry throat, feel like I can't drink enough water to even wet my lips, I feel as though I am being broiled alive, and I look like I have Aboriginal feet by the amount of dust they get covered with, within 3 steps outside! Our 2 AC units (a window one and a large portable one) wouldn't cool a lunchbox, nevertheless our bus, so that doesn't help.

Yes I am complaining. But that's ok, it is miserable here, so complaining is ok. Hahaha! We have to be here for Doctors Appts, otherwise we would have already headed back to the coast! Don't get me wrong, Idaho is beautiful. The people are great. If you liked hot weather,it's got that too. I'm over hot and I'm over snow, so Idaho isn't for me anymore.

But any way, we are here. The bus did great on the trip back from Crescent City, CA. We stopped at Jessie M Honeymoon State Park outside of the Newport,OR area (don't remember exactly where, the heat has ruined my memory haha!) for one of the nights. Great park, easy access and great showers! Would have liked to have arrived in the daylight to do some exploring, but maybe on the next trip through.

The next night we stayed at Kampers-West RV Park just outside of Astoria,OR. Very nice park, easy access, paved parking pads and decent showers/toilets. They do have a Rec Room with a pool table, air hockey table, and foosball table. (It was closed when we pulled in....dark again). We definitely would stay there again!

So now we are in River Junction RV Park in Kooskia, ID. Small park. Odd prices, $28/night, $125/week, $175(plus elec)/month...... Doesn't make sense, but cheaper than 3 miles down the road at a KOA... $375/month! There are downfalls here, probably more than need be, but it's cheap and the coin-op shower (not showerS, shower, as in only one) is hot, and the single male and the single female toilets flush, so you can't really complain...

Well, gotta run, stuff to do before we hit 90,
God Bless y'all!

Sorry its been a while..... Aug 20, 2017

Hey y'all, sorry for taking so long to update, but nothing has really happened lately. We have changed a few things, though....

Annnnndddddd I would load pictures, buuutttttt my awesome phone is to smart for me.... It won't load the pictures because of low memory, but I have 9 gigs of free memory on the phone. So, ya....

But I can tell you!

We lifted the master bed higher, so our genset can fit under it now instead of being in the closet! It definitely gives us more storage room!

We are in the process of giving the bus a face-lift, in other words we are painting it! The green was cool and we got allot of compliments on it, but when the sun peaks through the fog, it gets pretty warm inside.....and that's when is only 65-68 outside! We can only imagine a sunny 80 degree day! So it is now partially white. It will be totally white when We are done.

We had to paint over all our signatures that we had on the sides, and that's a major bummer so we will have to have all y'all re-sign the bus when we see ya!

Well that's all I have to say right now. Once I figure this stinking phone out, if that's even possible, I'll post some pictures.

God bless y'all!

4th of July!

Hey y'all, so here we are, the 4th of July. We are still in Crescent City, Ca but that's ok. The biggest fireworks display on this past of the coast is suppossed to be right here, so we'll see!

If your in the area, stop by! We are selling a bunch of knick knacks that we made from drift wood, shells, and rocks.

So come on by, if you can't that's alright, we will do this again and again as we travel around.

We'll that's all for now, God Bless!

6/17/17 Crescent City......still....

Hey y'all,

So it's been a while since I've posted on here, but that's simply because we haven't traveled anywhere new with the bus. While we have traveled 2hrs both east and south in our car, we haven't found any other place that we want to stay, so on the first we are loading everything up and headed north again to find an RV Park in Oregon, possibly in or around Seaside because of the awesome beaches and things to doing and around town.

Our boys are really taking to surfing, and ask almost everyday if they can surf. We picked up 3 more surf boards for $60 (total, not each); two of which we will have to do a little bit of fiberglassing/resin work, the other surfboard needs to be completely re-glassed..... and will be a first time for me..... we had to take it completely down to the foam, because the fiberglass was so bad. Once they are fixed, we will probably sell/trade them for a long board since they are all "pro" sized, at under 6ft tall, and would only frustrate the boys when they try to stand up. I know I did when I was younger.

We had the chance to borrow a neighbors surf board, a 10'2" long board, and wow! Talk about a difference from TJ's 8' foam board, that board catches waves great! We definitely gotta get one of them! Our neighbor also took TJ and I out and showed us how to Stand Up Paddle board the other day. That was great too! He also showed us some Aikido they other night, and we will keep working on those moves! (Thanks John for giving us those opportunities!! You've helped give our boys some great memories)

So while we can't wait to head out to new experiences, we made good friends here, and will miss them when we leave. We can only hope that our next spot is as cool as this one (with less crime preferably) with the beach just as close, if not closer.

God has definitely blessed us with great experiences so far, and we can't wait to see what else He has in store for us.

5/9/17 update

Hey y'all, so we left South Beach State Park on the 9th of May exactly 1 month from when we started this adventure. We have had a lot of fun so far, as well as some boring rainy days too. 

We rolled into Umpqua Lighthouse State Park the afternoon of the 9th with the plan to stay one night and then head towards Brookings, OR or Cresent City, CA to hang out until the end of the month..... State Park staying is just spending to much money per night. We are going to RV Park it here on the west coast for the summer, where it's a good bit cooler than inland, then head for the Texas coast come Sept/Oct so we can make central Florida by Christmas. 

As far as a review of this Park, Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, it's very small with only 54 spots total half of them being tent or yurts. There is a 1 mile hiking trail around a small lake that borders one side of the park, and a 2-3 mile drive to the fee-parking lot ($4/day or $30/yr). The biggest bonus is that the Oregon Dune Recreation Area is right here with 100's of acres of sand dune riding with ATV/UTV rental places very close. It's pretty nice with clean bathrooms and showers, paved spaces and trails to the bathrooms. Lots of 'skeeters though.....

Tomorrow we head south, I will load this when we have internet.

May 10, 2017

So we are here. 150 or so miles later and we are here. Harbor RV Anchorage in Cresent City, CA. Yup......after 10 YEARS of saying I would never return to Commie-forn-i-stan, I am in the state..... and it's still a messed up state. We were stopped at the border to be asked if we had fruit, veggies, or firewood. Every vehicle is asked this. Shanesta was asked the same thing behind me, and she was in the car. Then we had to show our receipt for chicken and chips when leaving Walmart.... but that was probably because we were just carrying them vs having them in a bag.... we didn't want to pay for the plastic bag...... state law is now that you have to buy the bags. What a jacked up law! But then it is cali.....a jacked up state.

On a different note, the RV Park we are in is right on the beach. We are going to stay here for the summer, space rent is $500/month but that includes electric, water, and sewer, as well as showers and toilets. That's less than half of what state parks run for a month ( and you have to change parks every two weeks) and should let us save up some decent money for the trip East. Oh, and the perks include only a road separates us from the beach. We will be spending a lot of time out there! We are going to stay here until the beginning of Sept., so to my buddies down in Yuba City/Marysville, this is as close as I am gonna get, so if you want to visit, come on up! I hear it's only a 6hr drive, or so. That means you too Battle! 

Oh, we saw 2 skoolies today while driving. Both were short buses and while one was just painted white, the other was all painted up and had "Alaska or Bust" in front where it used to say School Bus. They were both heading North while we were headed south, so we didn't have the chance to meet them, but we both beeped and waved at each other! It was the first official sighting of another Skoolie since we talked with a couple who had just started their travels in Manzanita, Wa. Very cool!

May 12th update, we found a really cool surf shop here in town, and the owners let us borrow a few surfing dvd's, so the boys are dying to go surfing tomorrow, and are non-stop watching them! They have a board that would be perfect for Lucas, it would be a perfect belly board for him, as well as a good board for TJ once he can stand up regularly on his board, but we gotta sell some stuff that we don't use so we can buy it. $250 isn't cheap for us!

As always, I will load this when we have wifi access. ( none to speak of here in the RV Park, might have to get a signal booster, to snag some free wifi from somewhere.....there's a McD's just down the road a bit.......) God Bless!
