What Caleb Doesn't Want

-
Have you ever played the game "Would You Rather?" You are given two outlandish options, and you have to pick the one you'd prefer.

For example, would you rather have all of your thoughts visible in a thought bubble above your head or scream everything you say?

Caleb would make a great writer for this game. He is so creative, and he is constantly asking us deep questions. They aren't deep in a ponder-the-mysteries-of-the-universe sense, but they always make us pause and think before answering. That can't be said for conversations with a lot of people in life.

I say that as backdrop for what I'm about to share: the list of things Caleb definitely doesn't want for his birthday. That's right, he made such a list. In fact, he made four lists:
  1. things I really want
  2. things I'd like to have
  3. meh
  4. NO ⬅ ⬅
Capitalization, arrows, and emphasis his.

Without further ado, here is a lightly edited (only spelling corrections) list of the things Caleb doesn't want for his birthday:
  • Poop
    • Bird poop
    • dog poop
    • elephant poop
    • your poop
    • bunny poop
    • any poop
  • dead raccoon
  • coral snake
  • T-rex
  • exploding violin
  • alien
  • ice age
  • action figures
  • bomb
  • 90 mosquitoes
  • dried tomato
  • donald trump
  • peppa pig
  • James Buchanan
  • broken elevator
  • junkyard
  • a tick
  • toulouse goose
  • sour blueberries
  • vampire
  • concussion
  • ultron
  • 20 tons of blood
  • 400 brown recluses
  • 1 ton bowling ball
  • cat scratch fever
  • buckley’s cough mixture
  • british troops
  • burned popcorn
  • zombie skittles
  • assassin
  • franklin pierce
  • moldy watermelons
  • stale water
  • raisin bran with only raisins
  • garbage smoothie
  • garbage truck
  • Big Big bubble gum
If you are so moved to get him something, this leaves you plenty with which to work. Woodrow Wilson, perhaps?

What does this have to do with our RV or our trip? Absolutely nothing, but it made me laugh, and I wanted to share. I love that boy!

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
