Homeless... anyone know a good place to camp? (And pics from the week)

It looks like we'll be getting an offer on our house on Monday. I don't know if we will accept it or how much they plan to offer, but it did get me thinking about planning for being homeless for a while. We are building and our new home won't be ready until around January or February...

I think it would be fun to camp somewhere until the weather gets too cold and then maybe we can go visit family in Texas for a little while (is that okay Riss?) Does anyone have camping spots they'd recommend? Bill thinks we should get a temporary apartment, but I really don't want to pack up and move twice.  Plus it sounds so boring. We are also considering buying a used RV to live in for a few months. Has anyone lived in an RV who has some advice about it?

Here are some fun pics from our week:

Pioneer Day:
Daughters of Pioneer Museum had some fun pioneer activitues


Cassia's namesake's spinning wheel

The cart where Brigham Young stood to say "This is the place."


Then we went to a nearby park for a picnic


We all walked down the river way for a while to cool off
Tuesday-Thur
Cassia got her driver's licence
The kids have enjoyed the poster coloring pages from their aunt Bandy.


We'very been going to the park or a friend's house a lot during house showings



We also watched The Green Prince - a fascinating documentary which made us want to read the book, Son of Hamas.

And we watched Batman vs Superman one very late night with some friends. It wasn't as bad as I expected and brought up some good discussion about what happens when we try to bend God's will to fit ours and how that relates to how God can be all good and all powerful and still let bad things happen on this Earth.

Friday:
20 year reunion with my high-school friends




Then a family art lesson with Bro. Pack






Bill took all the boys to a father-son campout that night so the girls and I went to see our friends preform in Shrek the Musical. They were great!


Saturday:
Parks again during showings and an evening hike to Malen's Peak with Bill and Cassia:










I kind of like having to show our house. It makes us keep it clean and we have excuses to get out all the time.  It may get old after a while, but for now it's been pretty nice.
