Day 2, San Antonio

Today was chore day!  We did 9 loads of laundry (fortunately all at the same time), and did a lot of organizing the motorhome. We also packed up more stuff to send home.  We have decided the less stuff we have the less stress we have.  With that said, we still need to eliminate a ton more stuff.  Besides organizing, the kids did a bunch of homeschool, swam, rode their rip sticks and built a Lego castle.  
Since I don't have much to write about I thought I would take this time to answer some of your comment questions.  First, Kathy said I should keep track of cool quotes.  Well, Kathy you must have forgotten that my memory left with each child I gave birth too.  I'm having a good day if I remember what I did that day.  So I agree that quotes would be cool, but by the time I blog I can't remember anything anyone said.  Kerry suggested that we put the squirrel on the blowhole to see if it would float.  I'm surprised that the kids didn't put the squirrel there because they tried flying everything else they found within a mile perimeter.  Pop wants to know if I'm go
ing to learn to drive the "big rig?"  The answer is Yes.  I have driven it, but not a lot.  I'm going to start driving it more and make Dave make lunches (that way I can speed up on the turns so he will fly all over the place).  My dad said that he thought there was great trout fishing in Bottomless Lake.  Well, we actually talked to the ranger about that.  They tried to stock the lake with trout but there was so much algae in the lake that all the fish
 they stocked were floating belly up the next day.  Hi Carter, you wanted to see a picture of the clown alien.  I don't have a pic of the clown one but I will post all the alien pics I took.  Betsy wanted to know how life on the road is and if everyone has their own place to go when they need to.  Life on the road is interesting all the time.  You have to work hard to keep your 
patience, and when you are frustrated you have
to thank God and remember that he is teaching us
 so much during this great experience.  Finally, many of you have asked about my Roswell theory.  Well, there are too many people who saw the unidentified object crash into the farmland near Roswell for there not to have been an object.  So I believe there was a crash, but I believe it was a government test plane that they didn't want the public to know about.  So it was a huge government cover up.  If I was the president and I had some top secret plane that could help the US  I would have covered the whole thing up as well.  If anyone got hold of a piece of the plane all the hard work and advancement on technology that helps the US to be a world force would be instantly
copied.  
Tip of the day:  You can meet a lot of nice people in a laundry mat.  All people have is time when they are waiting for their laundry, so they love to chat.  We met a few Texans who had a great deal of tips for our trip.  Best tip was where to find the best Tex-Mex food.  I'll let you know tomorrow if it was any good.  Well that's it in a nut shell.  Love you all!
