I'm Erin, the mama of this tribe. 
I live with 5 boys ya'll! Pray for me.
Once in a while, I try once a week, to get on and blog.
Sometimes it's about travel, sometimes it's about family,
sometimes widowhood, sometimes trailer flips,
​sometimes living with 5 boys.
No matter what it's about, it's always about our life.

Back it up

Have you ever watched a married couple attempt to back a trailer into a small spot at a campground? If not, then you should. I'll be your muse. I must look and seem ridiculous. Today,  I was hanging out in the trailer eating a plum with Trenton when I noticed a woman standing behind an oversized RV making hand gestures like I've never seen. When I stand behind our trailer to help Travis back into a campground space, I feel like I make movements with my arm that resemble "backing up." I wave him back, simply. Not like a beauty queen in the 4th of July parade wave, but a smooth wave of the hand, gesturing him to back up. If he needs to move to one side or the other, I point in that direction. When there is an arms length of space between the back of the trailer and whatever tree, rock, stump or gate is behind us, I feel like I give him a good hand gesture to explain that too. This woman I pretty much paparazzi-ed without a camera from my trailer made gestures I couldn't even make sense of. I swear if I had put music to her moves, she  could have been on a club floor dancing in the 70's. Granted, she got that oversized whale of an RV in there on the first try as she made these obscene hand gestures to her husband. Kudos to her. She's doing something right. Maybe I'll ask her for some advice. We've got too many campground to count coming our way. Some advice may be needed. 
It's taken Travis and I about 5 years to get our system down, that was until someone said, "why don't you just call him and talk to him when he's backing in." Ah-ha moment as well as a stupid me moment, all rolled into one. So, I call him when I'm standing behind the trailer assisting him as he backs into the campground space and don't look like a crazy lady with obscene hand gestures.
