Introduction To The Bouncing Balls

Welcome to "Follow the Bouncing Balls," where three retired siblings prove you're never too old to relive your childhood – just with more aches, pains, and a significantly larger vehicle!

Hey there, fellow adventure enthusiasts! I'm Kevin A Ball, the self-proclaimed "wisest" (read: oldest) of the Ball siblings. Along with my partners in crime, Edonn Ball and Susan Ball, we're embarking on a journey that's equal parts midlife crisis and family reunion on wheels.

Picture this....

Three grown adults, raised on a steady diet of tent camping, fishing, and Buffalo Bills fanaticism, now unleashed on the open road in an RV. It's like our childhood vacations got an upgrade – from a 16-foot wooden hull boat to a house on wheels. We've traded our later father's trusty 25 HP Johnson outboard for an engine with a few more horses, and our tent for a mobile mansion.

Progress, people!

We've swapped our professional careers for a life of professional goofing off. Kevin has left Chester Springs, PA, for the driver's seat. He is the leader of this trio, bouncing from state to state, reliving our glory days of camping and fishing, but this time with better knees and a more expensive taste in bait.

So buckle up, dear readers, as we navigate the highways and byways of America, armed with nothing but our wits, a sense of adventure, and an industrial-sized bottle of Bengay.

Will we survive each other's company in close quarters?

Will we remember how to bait a hook without calling for a nurse?

Will we accidentally join a retirement community thinking it's an RV park?

Only time will tell!

Join us, the Bouncing Balls, as we prove that you can take the siblings out of Buffalo but can't take the Buffalo (or the Bills Mafia spirit) out of the siblings. It's time to follow the bouncing balls – don't follow too closely, our driving might be as unpredictable as a Bills game in December!

Get ready for tales of misadventure, family bonding, and probably a few wrong turns (both metaphorical and literal). We're here to show you that retirement isn't the end of the road – it's just the beginning of a very long, slightly crooked, and hopefully hilarious one - Kevin

Follow the Bouncing Balls: Our RV

Welcome to "Follow the Bouncing Balls," where the Ball siblings—Kevin, Edonn, and Susan— embark on RV adventures across America in their 2022 Thor Magnitude BT36 Super C. From solo trips to Yellowstone to family rendezvous in Myrtle Beach, this light-hearted blog chronicles the trio's journey as they bounce from state to state, with Kevin at the wheel and his two sisters alternating as co-pilots and backseat drivers.

The Ball Siblings' RV

Kevin, Edonn, and Susan Ball have opted for the 2022 Thor Magnitude BT36 Super C as their mobile home for their cross-country travels.

This powerful setup allows the siblings to tackle various terrains and tow heavy loads with ease.
