Well, after a lot of planning, a whole lot of packing, and more road construction than we would have liked, here we are relaxing in Capital City. The weather is fantastic. Warm winds up to 80 degrees. Who'd have thought in October? So nice to wear shorts and not have to worry about BabyBoyBlue not wanting his shoes and socks on. Not having to worry the same about Kat, either, for that matter. They are so cute swimming around in the pool together. I love B3's giggle as he calls out, "Wook, I'm riding on Kat in watah!" There's an FFA convention here in town. So nice to see so many girls. Takes me back to when Axl and I were young. Really miss those trips....

capital city with my family blows. they just want to hang. i want to go to the statehouse and watch some stuff metriculate... laws, ppl!!

God I hate driving in road construction! Glad the wife wants to do a night in Capital City. I be sittin' my @$$ down by this pool, now. Thank God I have a couple of days off. The Harvest is about all I can take. Don't know how Raley grew up doing that stuff for free at home. 12 hours a day for pay is enough. What is with little FFA girls and their key cards? This is like the third time I had to get up and let them out on that terrace thing. Raley is laughing. OH CRAP!
Note to self: Kat and Peng will not be allowed to join FFA...
B3's notes on Bubby's typie phone thingy because nobody thinks I'm bananas-ing old enough for my own
Yeah this trip blows big bananas. You heard me! It does. Yes, I do know that's strong language, Mother, but you're the one who made me puke, crap and breathe banana stench when I got sick on my birthday. You and your "banana's are easy on Baby's tum-tum," bull*bananas*! I will not ever eat that *bananas* again. *Bananas* belongs in the diaper Peng threw in the trash can back at the rest area at the 41 mile marker. Not me being stuck in this *bananas*ing carseat, for four *bananas*ing thousand miles of listening to that *bananas*head Phillip guy making this place my home! THIS IS NOT MY *BANANAS*ING HOME!!!!!!!!

Don't cry, B3, sissy has made you a nice trail mix of left over apples from your ClappyKidsMeal and Go-Fishy crackers. Eat up! (will paste in pix when we get home :) )

Apples are the new bananas.

The hill country is really pretty. Dad is lucky to have been able to move down here again. The trees are beautiful and the highway is so peaceful... *sigh*...it's kind of like the highway in Twilight except the trees are colorful deciduous instead of evergreen...
Axl's Captain's Log
Holy f***nuts!! That was a huge drop-off! The hill country is f***ing insane. Raley's dad deciding to live in the hill country is f***ing insane. Trips in mini vans through the hill country are f***ing insane...
Kat's Notes *my cell phone is locked for a reason DipWad a.k.a SonnyBoyBlue!*
Hells to the yeah, Papaw's living Gangnam style! I think Daddy just crapped his pants on that last hill though, lolz.

Good to be out of the car! Too bad it's raining, but still enjoying being able to visit Dad and NewMom. I love that he heats the house with an outdoor wood furnace. So toasty warm up in the house. Hmmmm. Looking around the place now. Strange that no one knows how the other house on the property burned or even when it burned. The last owners sure were trashy. Dad's picked up bushels of old plastic bottles...

no sh*t sherlock, you think the previous owners were growing pot in here, newfangledgrannymom? whut tipped you off, yo? certainly not the foil over the windows and sh*tnot! wtf is papaw thinking? hahaha mom's looking kinda funny right about now... old ppl, lol
Mother's Magical Memories Missive
OK, so the water filled cistern that hasn't been used in 60 years is starting to freak me out a little... why do I think Merab from Winter's Bone is going to pop out from behind a wood pile and throw coffee in my face, while screaming, "Can you feel on him? He's not deep..."?
Text message from Peng to Kat while following following NewGrannyMom on grand tour of place

Kat texting back to Peng

Napping with B3. Raley and big kids seemed to be having fun out in the yard. Nice to be able to give them a good trip for Fall Break. Sometimes trips to family can be so awkward. Glad this is going well.

Mom's WTF is happening notebook rant
It's 1 A.M. I can't f***ing sleep in this house. It's pouring rain. This house is 185 d***ed degrees. One guest room. One daybed. Three kids and a husband on two air matresses. B3 in travel bed. Wall to wall people. If this house catches fire... Do I smell smoke?
No, of course not, the outside wood burner is totally safe.
I'm just imagining things.
I smell smoke.
I DO.
Wait. No.
Noooooooooooooo.
It's what a burned out house smells like...
Holy crap-a-loo on the bayou!
Dad wonders what the last mortgage holder needed 190g's for, if all they did was re-drywall the place? Hello! Meth containment and repair!
OMIGOD. MY DAD LIVES IN A RECOVERED METH HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, sh*t is my baby absorbing meth as he crawls around the place???? Are Sonny and Kat going to get a taste of it through their fingertips and totally Gateway???? Is Peng's asthma going to flare and the nearest hospital is 50 minutes away...They say you can't ever get it out... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B3's notes on Mommy's typie phone thingy because nobody thinks I'm bananas-ing old enough for my own
Holy *bananas* my mama can pack her *bananas* up fast!!! And she's been totally cool about me smacking the *bananas* out of this phone. It's like she doesn't want me to touch or play with anything else in this place. Not that I'd even *bananas*ing want to after Psycho*bananas*ing*banana**banana*new*bananas*ingGrannymom went all ape*bananas* on me for "petting" her glass menagerie of kitty cats. wt*bananas*? I said I was "petting" them.

Dear Diary by Peng Blue age 11
I just love vacations with my family. We all love each other so soooo much and have so much fun together. We are like one big crazy party on wheels.
I took this pix with my cell at the museum and sent it home to Mom's printer...
