[Editor's Note: I wrote this right after our 5K race on Jan. 10 - and then never went back to edit it and add photos! Now that we're approaching our half-marathon date, I decided it was time to actually finish this post!] In my last post, I explained the pre-race process of attending the runDisney … Continue reading Disney 5K Part 2: The Race

Disney 5K Part 1: The Expo
This is our second year of basically wintering in DisneyWorld. It's a pretty awesome thing to be able to finish schoolwork and hop over to Disney for a few hours. A few times last year, we came across groups of Crazy Runner People. We would see them in the Epcot parking lot dressed in sparkly … Continue reading Disney 5K Part 1: The Expo
Review: “World of Cubes”
I play a game. It's called "World of Cubes." It's kind of like Minecraft, except without all of the Creepers, Zombies, and Pigmen. I haven't tried making an iron golem yet. You can either choose a Creative World or a Survival World, and you decide what you name it. For Creative, you can also decide … Continue reading Review: “World of Cubes”
Review of Up and Away FTF Rally
I went to a Fulltime Families rally and I got a week off from school. A Fulltime Families rally is a group coming together to play and socialize. Forty-eight families met at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. All of our recreational vehicles (RVs) were in one fenced-in area and we had a … Continue reading Review of Up and Away FTF Rally
Review of Act Your Wage
by Mr. Bang Act Your Wage is a game like Monopoly, except there are four card decks and only 2-4 people can play this game. This is made by Dave Ramsey, for anyone who knows his radio show or his books. The objective is to pay off your debts and say, "I'm debt free!" If … Continue reading Review of Act Your Wage
Fiery Furnace
by Mr. Bang I went to Fiery Furnace. It's a tour through Fiery Furnace, which is an area of Arches National Park. You cannot go on it without having a permit or being on a guided tour because it's so easy to get lost. The other reason why you shouldn't go in is, it's illegal. … Continue reading Fiery Furnace
Review of Ballard RV Park
by Mr. Bang This campground is roughly half an hour from Arches National Park. It is in Thompson, Utah. So look at your digital maps and zoom in very much. I'm sure you'll see it eventually. This campground has full hook-ups. Full hook-ups is water, electricity, and sewer. It's a pretty small campground with no … Continue reading Review of Ballard RV Park
Review of Bill Frome County Park Campground
by Mr. Bang We're at Bill Frome County Park Campground. It's a free boondocking campground. There are no hook-ups. There's no water and no electricity. They do have pit toilets for people to use. I have not used them. It's a beautiful area. We've seen river otters down on the pier. It's right on Henry's … Continue reading Review of Bill Frome County Park Campground
Review of Madison Buffalo Jump State Park
by Mr. Bang I went to Madison Buffalo Jump State Park. That is a state park with a limestone cliff that's thirty feet tall where Native Americans herded the bison off the cliffs. The runners would get the bison curious enough to run after them so they were unaware of the danger until it was … Continue reading Review of Madison Buffalo Jump State Park
Review of “Lego Star Wars: A New Hope”
by Mr. Bang This is a Lego Star Wars series, the same series as "Empire Strikes Out," if you know what that is. If you don't, that's totally okay. The storyline is the same as movie four, except it's a little bit funny. Here's a preview: The galaxy is in trouble, and it's up to … Continue reading Review of “Lego Star Wars: A New Hope”
