Hill Shade

Our next stop was an RV park that we had heard good things about.  It was in a beautiful park of Texas, just outside of Austin, owned by a young couple with five kids.  We were pretty bummed when we got there and found out that they didn't have any spaces available.  But Michael invited us inside to chat and meet Christine and they ended up offering to let us just fill up with water and hook into someone else's power!  Then they refused to take any money for the spot.  After getting to know the Moers for awhile, Judah and I headed back home to bake them some cookies.  


Then we went back to their house to hang out some more.  Christine and I had a lot in common and it was great getting to know her.  And the kids were amazing with Judah and Sawyer--sweet and patient and fun.  It was hard to pull Judah away, but I promised him we would play with them again in the morning.


So we went home, Sawyer tried out the potty...


and then fell asleep in the middle of the living room floor.


The next morning, the kids headed outside to play.


There were fallen leaves there and Judah was really excited to be in fall.  He kept throwing the leave up in the air and shouting "it's fall!"



But he quickly forgot about the leaves when the kids started filing out.  Precious showed us her hoop and J and S took turns trying it out. She was a great teacher!


It turned out that not only was the park run by a young family, there was also a family of full timers staying there!  And they were from Wisconsin!  Alicia and Dan came over and introduced themselves and we spent a long time chatting about RV living, Wisconsin, and parenting.  It was so much fun getting to know another RVing family.

While I chatted, Judah played his little heart out.  He loved the trampoline!



We were so sad to leave.  We had such an amazing time and made some great new friends.  We can't wait to go back and do it again!

  1. It was so great to meet your sweet family. I hope we get to connect again on the road. I'd love to talk more about midwifery etc.
