First RV Trip
We decided to go over to Yellowstone for a few days. Gonna hit Lewis and Clarks Caverns, Virgina City and Yellowstone State Park. Should be fun! Stay tunned for more videos.
WE DID BRING BEAR SPRAY
We decided to go to Glacier National Park without our Rv. We live 30 min away and didn't make any sense to drive a 38' RV up there. We had a great time. Climbed Avalanche Trail to get to Avalanche Lake. Amazing Place.
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE :(
We went down to the lake had a wonderful dinner with fire cooked burgers and hot dogs but when we went in the RV the kids were out of control and I was filming. Kaleigh lost it. She told me to put the camera away and help get the kids in bed which is what I did but I think she is not liking the RV life. We haven't even gotten on the road yet.
Addicted to Fishing
My son Hugo is addicted to fishing. That's all he talks all day. The other day he was able to catch one but it escaped. Im gonna make sure he catches one this summer.
SHE DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!
On Carla's Birthday we decided to throw her a surprise Birthday Party. She was gone all day to Missoula so we took the opportunity to prepare. When she came back we took her out on a boat so people could come in a hide in the house.
Are there any Pokémon in Bigfork Montana
My son Hugo wanted to download Pokémon Go and play it. After hearing so many people talk about I decided to download it and give it a try. I never played Pokémon growing up so I don't have much attachment to the characters but I thought would be fun to get outside with my son and play it. The town we live in is small and not very many Pokémon were available but we went out there and had fun. We will keep exploring and finding more Pokémon but also giving you some wonderful videos of Flathead Valley. I hope you enjoy it and Thanks for Watching!

First Night in RV
We wanted to do a test sleep in the RV. Fiona wasnt with us. Remy had a tough night with stuffy nose had to come sleep with us in our "queen size" bed. We slept really bad. Second thoughts about our decision... Lol. Its gonna be fine once we get used to it. We didn't even use the restroom being afraid of when we have to clean it 😩. Kaleigh said lets sleep at home this week so we can pack and clean it up 😉. We have put away most of our belongings, rented a storage unit. Now we just have to find a buyer for our house and there is no going back after that. Going from 3200sqft to 200sqft we knew was going to be hard so we are Ok with the space. The RV is having some coolant trouble. We need to take it in to get that fixed. One piece at the time.
How much $$ to fill up an RV?
We drove back to Spokane to pick up the RV. Long drive but we did it. We brought it home and tonight 6/26/16 we will be sleeping in it for the first time.
We bought our first RV. Itasca Suncruiser 38T
After a long time shopping we finally found it. It is just Perfect!

We Bought the RV.
Nothing can stop us now ;)
We had to to drive to Washington State to find our RV. Its funny how when you see the right one you know its the right one. Was a long day for us and especially the kids, but they did great!
It is a 2008 ITASCA Suncruiser 38T. It is 38 feet long and it has 2 slides. Has a nice fireplace which makes it really cozy. Double sided fridge with ice-maker. Washer-dryer combo which will be nice not to have to waste time at laundromats. The kitchen is big for an RV and is located at the front of the coach which is the only one we've seen with that layout. These are some of the major things we liked about it. One nice thing is the sleep number master bed :)
We weren't able to take it home with us today because they want to make sure everything works on it and is serviced and good to go. We are glad we were able to find RnR RV and our Sales guy, Mac Matta, was an excellent sales person.
We are going back next week to pick it up without the kids this time and do a 4hr orientation to learn everything there is to know about the coach. We also need to install a tow bar to tow our new car 2014 Fiat 500L. Need a breaking system put in also. One thing we have to wait to put on are the solar panels. They were kind of pricey for now but we are going to live in it for a bit and see.
Thank you guys for watching our videos and keeping up with us on this crazy adventure we are beginning! It takes 2 crazy parents who have moved 22 times in 11 years together to do something like this. We just cannot stay in one place for a long period of time. Our last place Bigfork we settled for 6+ years and we changed homes 3 times. We are sad to have sold our business and super sad to sell our beautiful house, but life is about the Journey!
Thank you Family, old Friends and new Friends we are making through this Journey!
We love you guys!

sorry about the English! Kaleigh will have to proof read it at some point ;)
We looked at our first RV
Our Friend Pete showed us his RV. Even though is a little over our budget was nice to check it out and really have a feel for what a 42' RV looks and feels like. I was able to drive it which is my first time to drive one. The driving part was "easy". Well easy for 500 yards on grass. Would be harder to get used to drive one on highway and stay between the lines.
OUR HOUSE FOR SALE
I Ruined her hair
Fiona wanted to get her hair cut shoulder length. I volunteered to do it ;) preparing for RV life 🚍
