The Latest In Projects Has Arrived!

Emily Jane has inherited the cutest trailer ever from her neighbor. It is all metal with two stripes, that will be freshened up with new paint. It needs a rebuild on the inside, and a good polish on the outside, but soon it will be looking bright and beautiful. Torr and Emily are up for the challenge, and we have suggested a name to go along with the horse shoe and handkerchief theme, "Lucky Me" will be restored to it's original glory, or should we say... lucky Emily!!! Let's all pitch in and do it!

Girl Trip Fun

As usual we had a blast on the annual Girls Trip. We started in Newport this year, and ended in Astoria. The coast was perfect. We saw and did many things, and the kids were great. The Girls Trip is the most anticipated trip of the year, and always ends up being the most fun. Some highlights from this year are, of course, the Newport Aquarium, the kids love it, Tillamook cheese factory, the beach at Seaside, and a truck ride around Fort Steven's. There were lots of other great things we did also, and for all those that missed it, we hope to see you all next year.

Trailer updates.

So the latest updates are now available on this sight. Here is the low down. Ricky has done a fabulous job on the base of "The Shack" all the rust is gone, and there is a coating of rubberized paint on it. It's Nice!!! The "Queen Bee" has a counter top piece cut for it thanks to Jim Olson. I can feel the home stretch coming on.

Time for a Round up!

Can I just say Hooray for the Girl's Trip!! I am so excited and antsy to hook up my Old Glory and head on out! I'm sorry that not everyone will be going this year...we are going to miss you and your kiddos! It's hard to find a time when everyone is able to go. We'll do some more camping before the summer is over though!

It's super late and I can't sleep, so I'm putting this little post in here to calm myself down and hopefully slow my brain down enough

to sleep. So those of you who are planning on going, take Maile's advice and don't back out now!

Tiki in Trouble?

We're not sure yet of the outcome on Summer's newest acquisition, but Ricky and Summer carefully peeled away the tin on saturday to reveal the bare bones of the Traveling Tiki Hut! It's pretty crazy to look at, but they are going to replace the rotten (dark) wood and hopefully bring it back to life and it will be even cuter than before. It's fun because they will customize it for their family to work and function the way they want it to. Good Luck you two!!!

And More Progress

Gordon was at work tonight in the Queen Bee, and all of the cabinets were installed. They look great! I have to give the credit of the cabinets to John, they are exactly what I would have pick out. You the man John. While they were being installed I was installing the lights at the same time, and with only two swear words, the lights were put in, but when I went to go plug in the cord, it shorted out big time. So after took the main light back out thinking that was the problem, Gordon and I realized that the problem was in the main line from the box to the plug. Apparently Gordon put a screw through it. So Tome, Summer, and I pulled out the computer to find the picture of where the wiring so we could figure out which screw we needed to back out. Well anyway, we found it, and the electrical is back in business, and we are one huge step closer to finishing!

Floor!

I have a floor, Yes!!! And it looks good. The Queen Bee is coming along, and will soon be able to join the fleet in our next camping trip. It's all just putting back together from here.

Gorgeous Georges #6 Is Underway.

Summer and Ricky have started ripping apart the new trailer (no name), there is a lot of work to be done, but it seems that they are up for the challenge. Good Luck!

Paint!

Finally, I am on a roll! The Queen Bee officially has paint on the walls, next to come... the floor, hopefully on Saturday.Will keep everyone posted.

Queen Bee Has Walls! And a New Addition!

Well, here is the latest on the Queen Bee... There are walls, and a ceiling. Sean worked hard before he left, so we should have it ready for Memorial Day. I textured yesterday, and am planning to paint today since there are no Baseball games tonight! So hurray for that.

On to bigger news, we have added a new trailer to the fleet!!! I here groaning from the male section of the family. Summer is starting a new project for herself, and it is a big one. Good luck to Summer (and Ricky). Any name suggestions would be great.
