Creek Crossing RV Park

-




We left Tiger Safari in Oklahoma and as soon as we were heading out, the Harvest Host we were heading to canceled. Okay. Normally, that would be fine, but this is the weekend after Thanksgiving and everything in the area was booked. I called an RV Park for the third time and the woman answered and said that they were full, but then she put me on hold and then... told me a spot did become available. Yay! We had a spot at Creek Crossing RV Park from Friday to Sunday with a free late checkout!

How do you fix a sliding door? I have no idea. Michael got this door off of our back bathroom and eventually fixed it. He rocks the RV!
 
After setting up the RV, the kids watched a movie and ate pizza. Michael and I went on a date! Caleb and Asher gave Michael a birthday present of money specifically for a date with me! (Bonus!) That is so adorably sweet! We asked my cousin Genea for some good Texas restaurant ideas and she recommended Spring Creek BBQ.

First, we stopped by Home Depot to get a flexible elbow piece for the drill to fix the back bathroom's sliding door (again.) Next, Genea met us at the restaurant and we hugged! It was so good to see, talk and laugh together! The food was delicious! We had TX brisket, pulled pork, sausages, huge baked potatoes, french fries and root beer! I had such a great time!

On Saturday, we got ready and went to my Aunt Len's house. Jordan got up early and cut up apples for a baked cinnamon apple recipe. It didn't taste right; so we tossed that batch and started again with skinned, and newer apples. They were really good!

While the apples were cooking, Genea came in for a tour of the RV. I made some mac and cheese and brought the chocolate leaves from the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Factory. Genea brought two rotisserie chickens, some gluten free cheesecake and put a can of cranberry sauce on top of cream cheese. We brought it over to Aunt Len's house. She was so excited to meet and hug the kids. We had a very nice meal together!

Genea is so talented! She taught her bird to poop when she holds him over the trash can and says "Bombs away!" 
                           
Later that night, we met Matt, Genea's kind and loving husband. It was great to hang out with both of them at their nice home. The boys played video games and the girls enjoyed their pets (2 birds, 2 dogs, and 2 cats) and each other!

The next day, Genea took off work to come with us to Aunt Len's church. We joined the church for a potluck afterwards and then said our good-byes. 

On the way home, we stopped at the Dude Perfect headquarters. Unfortunately, no one was there, but it was still cool to be by their famous warehouse that we have seen many times on their YouTube channel.

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!
