We didn’t have a water issue pop up until things began to thaw out. Thankfully, it was the best case scenario for an RV that lived through -30 wind chills.

We’re Back
We’ve been stationed at home base doing all of the homestead-y type things, but with John’s work and classes at both enjoying fall break, we jumped at the opportunity to visit in order to recharge as we prepare for the last part of the year.
FINALLY!!!!
Three days after we began giving our hens a calcium supplement (crushed oyster shells) harvested our first eggs! 😍

This is our late dog Sadie, posing in the field of flowers at Grouse Mountain Dispersed Camping area, Bighorn National Forest. If you'd like to witness the adventure that brought us to the spot where this photo was taken, we'd love for you to check out our latest travel vlog. Pulling our fifth wheel up the mountain pass was totally new to us and it felt stressful at times, but we feel like it was worth it and this cherished photo is one reminder why. Check out the link in bio.

Beautiful scenery, raw emotion, glory to God - just a few of the themes throughout this episode. The Bighorn mountains are one of our favorite places to travel, but this video documents our stressful first journey into this amazing place. Thanks for watching and sharing. 🥰

My absolute favorite place to go out west in the RV is the Big Horn Mountains. I can't even begin to describe our time there in a handful of characters. You just have to see it yourself. John's working on our next travel video and it shows our first time in mountains camping and all the ups and downs that go along with it. The biggest challenge was NO WATER but that wasn't all!

Michelle may post more on this but we lost one of our young laying hens yesterday evening. All four of us have really enjoyed having hens and learning how to take care of them. This was a sober reminder for our family that we’re sailing in uncharted waters for us, which will naturally lead to some failures and will also require wisdom from others who have gone down this path before us. The kids were sad, but not nearly as busted up as I thought they’d be. A credit to the God we serve and our commitment to living a life for Him with the recognition that He is ultimately the provider. 🙏✝️👑
Watch our latest travel video where we camp at the base of Devils Tower National Monument, chat with a woman who's husband was rock climbing the monument, and give our impressions of the park.

An unexpected anniversary
It was one year ago that we traveled into the Bighorn mountains with our fifth wheel.
Here’s a brief reflection and an update on the next travel vlog we’re dropping tonight!
Females these days smh
We were asked to be guests on the Families For Life podcast.
We discussed how the Bible shapes our approach to parenting and how God has used the last two years of RV life to shape our approach to discipling our kids. Thanks to Bryan Gotcher and Brian Van Doren for the opportunity to share our story and share encouragement for other Christian families.

We're debuting a new feature this week: Parenting Profiles!Bryan and Brian will begin periodically sitting down with folks to discuss their family dynamics, ...
Out and about in Petersburg, Indiana. Pete’s Drive In features old school favorites like ice cream, burgers, and dogs. We were happy to stumble upon this place and surprised to see real car hops!
This is a really cool opportunity for us. We're thankful for being asked to sit down as guests on the Families For Life podcast and to discuss our approach to parenting and family discipleship. Episode premieres Monday May 23rd.

National Park Week Recap
As promised, here’s our oldest daughter and her favorite junior Ranger pin.
Coincidentally, it’s the one from our most recent travel video
Pop over to our profile and link to the website where you can watch all of our videos.
National Park week was a blast, and we hope you enjoyed our “baseball cards.”
We’ve been blessed with some amazing travels, and we may not be done with our RV explorations yet, but we’re staying put for a while.
We have tons of travel videos in the pipeline, though, as well as content from here at the homestead.
Keep watching and keep in touch!
Morel Hunting
Living free in southern Indiana today, as we meet up with some friends including to hang out, hike, and hunt morel mushrooms.
The kids explored the woods and even joined in the search for fungi at one point.
It was a refreshing time of fellowship and enjoying God’s creation together.
We've been looking back at some of our experiences in America's facilities as a way to celebrate National Park Week.
The most recent park we visited was just last month, as we toured and we were very impressed. We found that this park is, in our opinion, the most Junior Ranger-centric National Park. De Soto has three different badges for kids who participate in a variety of park events, as well as the famous Bark Ranger badge for our four legged friends, and a Junior Ranger coin! .ranger.nps
Do you or your kids have a junior ranger badge that is your favorite? We'll post a photo of one of our daughter's faves tomorrow!
It's National Park Week, and we're looking back fondly on some of our favorite memories visiting facilities.
We visited around Independence Day 2021, and the views in the park were even more breathtaking than the fireworks shows we witnessed in Estes, Colorado.
We saw more active wildlife at Rocky than any other park we visited, and the elk were a huge part of that.
What's your favorite animal encounter from a National Park? Drop it in the comments.
We're celebrating the during National Park Week with some of our favorite shots from the parks we've visited over the last couple of years.
This time around, it's one of John's favorite photos from the nearby - our family's local National Park.
This beautiful facility is nestled right beside the Wabash river and features gorgeous artwork and architecture.
National Park Week continues, and we're celebrating our FIRST National Park - 🤩
The shot we chose here was a highlight of our Western US travels last year, as we witnessed a bison grazing while Old Faithful burst forth. The park ranger nearby told us that, despite it's appearance on promotional materials, this is actually a rare sight.
Do you have a rare experience from one of our National Parks? Drop it in the comments below.
It's National Park Week John has whipped up a new series of trading cards from our adventures throughout the USA's National Parks and we'll be posting one each day this week!
Our first one is from which is the site of our latest travel vlog that dropped today.
We are so thrilled that our new travel vlog is online to watch!
Come along with us as we visit Mount Rushmore.
First, we'll stop at the Wasta exit to get prepped, then onto the monument to explore!

Welcome back to our journey! This episode picks right up where we left off in the Badlands. We rolled off of the Nomad's View and hit a dump station at the Wasta, SD exit in order to prepare for our drive to Mount Rushmore! Once we arrived, we found out that this monumental park was something we...

Who loves an easy back in? 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️ After multiple long travel days, backing into a campground spot can be the point where all of your stress boils over. 😡🤯😭 Every once in a while, you land somewhere that provides you with an easy landing. 🙌 We recommend having a system and communicating clearly. Acknowledge, also, that everyone else may be just as stressed out as you - and stress may lead you to make mistakes - so take it easy on yourself and your crew. 📍Lake Manatee State Park @fl.stateparks #rving #rvlife #rvlifestyle #rvliving #rv #rvtravel #camping #gorving #travel #fulltimerv #homeonwheels #roadtrip #homeiswhereyouparkit #lifeontheroad #rvcamping #fulltimervers #adventure #rvnomads #rvadventures #rvfamily #camperlife #camper #vanlife #rvfulltime #fulltimetravel #rvwithkids #fulltimervwithkids #flstateparks #lakemanatee #fulltimefamily

2021 has been an exciting adventurous year for us. We pulled our home behind us for 12,121 miles ... 🚙 through 15 states 🏞️ Visited 8 National Parks 🌲 6 National Forrests ✝️ 1 baptism We traveled up to an altitude of 12,005 feet. seeing 🌊 oceans 🏔️ mountains 🐃 wildlife galore ... But the best thing about 2021 was growing in our faith and as a family. We can not wait to see what God has in store for us in 2022. "You my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve one another humbly in love." Galatians 5:13-14 ESV #fulltimervfamily

I like to use our fresh tank when temperatures get below freezing. Normally, it’s not an issue, but last night I couldn’t get water from the fresh tank to the faucets. Was it the dreaded freeze or was it something mechanical?
