weekend observations

Took my two girls camping this weekend. They brought along a friend. Rained about half the time. We don't care. During our three day stay we got together with our neighbors and learned five families in our loop are living in their RV's with their kids. They stay the max, go somewhere else and return. Far as I know they all work and this seems a wise option as housing in Oregon is really expensive. If you do the math it is alot cheaper than an apartment and utilities are included. Unless one was very observant one would never know. One neighbor had seven people living in their rig. Just a weekend observation.

  • It's getting to be more and more common, especially in areas with high housing prices and moderate climates. Apparently people with kids tend to buy toy-haulers and use the garage for a bunkroom.

    A good many of these folks with less "conventional" lifestyles are also home-schoolers.

    I think it's a great contrast to the people with huge houses crammed full of their kid's stuff.
