Adventure Buddies

We had a great drive to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was about 9 hours in the RV. We made our first stop to get diesel and DEF and to walk around a bit. We stopped at our favorite gas station…Bucees! We have a tally of how many we see on the road. So far, we’ve seen two and one being built.

What do we do to kill time in the RV?

I’ve had so many ask what in the world we do to stay busy. I’ve planned many activities for the kids that I will share over our trip. I get out a few activities during each long drive. For this long 9 hour drive, we played with crafts, word puzzles, word finds, read our favorite Bible verses, and watched movies. We stopped to have leftovers. Larosa’s for the win! We love to look out the window and the kids really enjoy taking pictures. There is so much to take in with all the scenery. Lucy is also adjusting to all the sounds in the RV and the loud music. We love to jam to christian and country music to help the time pass. There is nothing more special to me than having this quality time together with our family. Thank you, Jesus!

This tackle box has been a life saver. We received this as a gift from a dear friend from our school. What a great idea! Every hour, the kids pick a few pieces of candy. All of our favorites are in the box.

These are everywhere in Texas.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

We enjoyed the short visit boondocking in this city. When you boondocks, you run your generator. Luckily, it was a bit cooler out when we were there. We ate at a place called Charelston’s and there was a beautiful river walk that we walked around.

There are numerous places that people can park in overnight. Most Walmarts, Cracker Barrels, Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, and schools allow people to park overnight for free. We decided to park at a Bass Pro Shop right off the interstate. It was spacious, but what we didn’t realize is that it’s also a place where hot rod cars rev up engines at night. Needless to say, we didn’t sleep well. We were thankful to leave Tuesday morning to head towards Amarillo, TX.
