HI EVERYONE! We have had such a great time!

April 25th:

In preparation for our upcoming trip there are many things to do, I (Weston) had to clean the inside and outside of the RV while dad did some last minute maintenance; replace the headlights (so we can see more that 15’ ahead of us:) add a little fluid here, check the levels of this and that, ect. While dad and I are outside, mom has the hardest part, PACKING, but even though this is the longest trip we have taken everything went off very smoothly and relatively stress-free. (someone must have been praying for us:) Toward the end of the day our neighbor Mr. Marshall came over (he is an attorney, Christian father of 8 click here to see his web-site) anyway he came over and offered us a bike rack for four bikes! we had looked far and wide for one! what a blessing! THANK YOU MR. MARSHALL! we have REALLY enjoyed having bikes!

April 26th Sunday:

We leave tomorrow, yay! can you guess what we did today? Yes you got it, one arm load to the RV, put it away, go back for more and repeat.

April 27th Monday :

last minute preparations, baths, breakfast, and two errands, and then to leave!! at about 4:00 pm we arrived at the ATI national conference click here for their web-site. The campground we stayed at for the meetings was very nice with big trees and a lot of space to ride bikes and a picnic table. Its was very humid but it was a great time!

April 28th Tuesday:

A very relaxed day, slight drizzle at 1:00 mom and dad had a 3 hour meeting and I stayed in the RV with the kids and cleaned while Joseph played with Justin Duggar. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the Duggar family stayed two RV’s away from us!! www.duggarfamily.com. Dad and I helped them set up their tent, they were really nice! Tomorrow Joseph and I will go to Alert Cadets! we are excited!

April 29th Wednesday:

Up at 7:00 to leave by 8:00 all day in Alert Cadets for Jojo and I and meetings for mom dad and the babies. by the end of the day we were tired!! But learned a lot!

April 30th Thursday:

same as yesterday. Joseph and I got to do repelling from a 64’ tower! very fun! Joseph and I have done rock climbing, repelling, knots, human stratedgeo, learned about navigation, racing, canoeing, scavenger hunt and learned about marching along with a game to see how well we learned.

Very fun/tired/hottttttt…:)

May 1st Friday:

Hopefully mom and dad will put some notes in about the conference soon. Jojo and I had a really, really, really hard obstacle coarse today and are wiped out!

May 2nd Saturday:

woke up at 9:17am (that's actually late for us;) had Bible study and packed up for the next stop: Baton Rouge Louisiana, and spent the night there, nothing fancy just a Wal-Mart parking lot;) then we occupied our selves with nothing!! (was very nice, actually)

May 3rd Sunday:

Had a great Bible study, and headed to Miramar Beach, Fl. The drive was beautiful and so was the beach. Dad was really blessed to find a really nice RV resort that was 300 yards from the water! we have been really blessed with great weather and smooth roads. Dad and I parked the RV hooked up to the necessary utilities and and then we all headed for the beach! we saw jelly fish and sea shells and the sand was so white, like sugar. Another beautiful day!

May 4th Monday:

About a mile away from our RV slot was a huge outlet mall, Mom and I went there on our bikes with the pull behind buggy with Victoria. We spent about 3 hours shopping and when we decided to come back it started POURING RAIN but thankfully there was a protective cover so Tia ( our nickname for Victoria) stayed dry. so since it was raining we just rested and watched a movie.

May 5th Tuesday:

We woke up and headed for the beach again for about 1 1/2 hours then packed up to go to a repair shop. you see our hydraulic leveling system in the front jack got some dirt in the seal making it leak hydraulic fluid in the pad so when we drove it blew onto the brake making the brake pad contaminated so there goes $$ oh well we fixed that…………

May 6th Wednesday:

Drove to Kissimmee, FL unloaded RV stuff into the condo and went swimming then bike riding had dinner and went to bed!

May 7th Thursday:

Today we had the privilege of going to the Holyland Experience click here to view their website. We had a wonderful time there we saw plays of the life of Jesus, it was a very meaningful experience, we enjoyed it thoroughly! but now only mom and I are up, I am blogging and mom is getting some work done. talk to you shortly!

We stopped for lunch and a table full of ladies started talking with us and before we knew it, they prayed for each of us (individually) and we felt so happy and blessed. When they prayed for Victoria, she became very quiet as though she knew what was happening – she’s one on May 11th!

Well phew, that was a lot of typing and if you read it all you are very kind!

More updates soon!!
