We need to go camping!

I am just going to leave a little note that we need to go camping!!! I hear the coast calling our names....telling us that it will be so fun to come watch the waves, maybe do a little crabbing and let the kids play in the sand! Soon Monica's boys will be done with football and we can help get their trailer done, so that the Queen Bee can officially have her maiden voyage and our current Caravan will all be in tip top shape. We are still looking for a trailer as far as I know for Emily Jane (or Emily girlfriend-if you ask Maile what her name is). So just so that everyone knows how much we all miss going on our little trailer travels I had to add this little note.

Here We Go Again

Danielle, and Monica were recently re inspired to get going on the Queen Bee, so we dove in full speed ahead. All the insulation is in, and the wiring is done, so now on to the next step of putting up the walls, and rebuilding to suit our needs. It is coming along great, and Danielle is finally starting to feel some Senior Project success!

Ready to Camp in the Pink Lady!

Tyson was just trying out his new camping outfit. Doesn't it go well with the Mountain Dew shirt?

Places To Go, And Things To See

It looks like our poll was a success, and there are several places we shouldn't miss. There were three places that received 100% of the votes. Seaside, Fort Stevens, and Bandon. We can tell what everyone's favorite places are to go. We need to start planning our Girl's Trip, so everyone needs to suggest dates, and if gas prices get any higher, we may have to do the Southern Oregon Coast from Bandon to Crescent City, instead of the Northern Oregon Coast. What do you think of that? Or should we just suck it up and go? It's time to get on the road!

Cracking The Whip Works

Well, I hate to admit, but I'm a mean wife. But it has been over a year since we started the Queen Bee, and not much got done on it, so Julee will be out of town most of June, leaving Greg by himself, and he, Sean, and Brett have all these great plans, I had to put my foot down. Sean has no freedom until his part of the trailer is done, so he is working very hard to get it done. And also I have to throw a shout out to Brett who is also lending a hand to get Sean out of trailer prison. Thank you.

But I have to admit it is going well. The sub floor is in and complete, as well as all the windows and roof sealed, and to top it all off, almost all the electrical is done. Imagine that. We are making some headway, or Sean is, who if he wines about all the work he did ignore him, he prefers to work alone. Or with Brett.

First Family Camping Trip of the Season!

The kids went down to the playground with Summer and we had a "flash flood" while they were walking back, so they were totally soaked! They stripped down to underwear, wrapped in blankets and laid on the trailer bed to read books. I am still impressed with the way Peyton sits to eat. He will sit still on her lap and just eat from her plate until he's done! We had a great time eventhough it rained.

Here is Maile playing with crafts from the box that Summer brought that never made it to Georgia, since they flew instead of driving. The box kept the kids busy during the rain. Kai was just hanging with everyone.

The Queen Bee Has Paint!

Finally, I'm feeling like we are getting somewhere, The paint is complete, and it looks great! Thanks to the Great Gordon. But the inside is still a huge project, that isn't getting done very fast. I'll just have to keep on pushing until it's done. Soon the stickers will be on, and the window cover finished, and it will be so beautiful.

Painting Day!

This weekend the Great Gordon broke out the gun, and started painting. The Pink Lady was completed, and is a lovely shade of bright pink and black. It is so pretty. The Queen Bee came up a little short in the yellow department and has to have another coat in on Monday, but the color is stunning! What an exciting weekend for the Gorgeous Georges!

Silver Lining's Maiden Trip

McKenna was the first packed and ready to go.
This past weekend we took out Silver Lining for her maiden trip. We drove up to Joseph Stewart Park up at Lost Creek. What a easy way to camp. We spent most the time in the trailer as we were only up there 13 hours. We even made breakfast inside as it was less work. I told Dusty, I didn't feel like we went camping. It's a strange concept to me, taking a house with you instead of a tent. I'm sure it will wear on me and I will soon find tent camping something foreign. It sure it nice to have a trailer when you have children. We set up the kids bed, plugged in the night light, read stories and went to bed like we do at home. We're excited for many more camping trips this season.

Pink Lady Had Her Flowers Picked

Tyson and Tori are making progress on the sanding of the Pink Lady, and this weekend sanded off the flowers. They are within reach of painting this coming weekend! Mean while on the Queen bee front, things are progressing along nicely. The new floor has been mostly put in, and we are hoping to put electrical, insulation, and walls this week, as well as the new Bamboo flooring, and exterior paint. It's all so exciting!
