We purchased a second house......well a camp trailer. We have been wanting one since we went to Yellowstone and rented one. We used to say that "real camping" was in a tent; but realized the time saved and quality of sleep, makes a happier mom, which in turn makes for a more enjoyable camping trip. We can also start in May and go through September. We weren't really lookin yet but found one in excellent condition and we couldn't help ourselves.
Anyways, we went camping two weeks ago with our friends John and Kim and their awesome three kids. We had a good time! We didn't have to sleep with two pairs of pj's, stocking caps on our heads, and four blankets. We weren't scared of crazies, bears, or cougars. I didn't have to wake up all hours to shove kids back in sleeping bags, because they had their blankets now and we had a heater. No more waking up at six in the morning and dreading the cold walk to the outhouses. It was HEAVEN!
We also had a very friendly visitor the entire weekend. I was afraid he was going to make our three days miserable, but we learned to love the little guy!
He would just walk right up to us. We watched him the first morning and he was over at this one camp and a little boy, probably six or seven was going up to shower and he didn't see the skunk. The skunk lifted the tail and stood on his front legs. Finally about four or five feet from the skunk the boy noticed him. He stopped dead in his tracks. He finally decided to run. It was hilarious......we were dying laughing. But we ran that night when we were making smores around the campfire and he just walked right up to us. Everyone ran and poor Kim's baby was left for a minute in the playpen.We had fun swimming, sight seeing, relaxing and catching up with John and Kim.
Much needed man time!
Life of the Party!
This was a rock that the indians sketched on way back when.
(Couldn't tell you what indians or when.)

Sounds like my kind of camping. I am with you on that sister. That baby is adorable. Going with friends is always a nice treat, especially when they have kids around the same age as yours.
I think we may need to get a trailer so that Kevin can get to go camping more often. I think I, like you, would be much happier minus the whole tent thing.
That's the best way to camp! It looks a lot like Brent and Cindys on the inside! How fun.
Glad you were able to take the camper out for it's maiden voyage. Too bad it wasn't the first time someone slept in it. ;) Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge, Say no more Say no more!
You are just going to love it. What great fun.
Glad y'all had fun! That is THE only way to go camping!
I am envious, I really want to buy my moms! We love to camp but I dread the "tent" life! Kim's baby is so cute!! I forget she had another one! I need to go and visit them. Do skunks love your family or what? Don't you have a lot of them that hang around your house too?
Looks like you had a great camping trip, especially since you went with another family. Love the tent trailer. That's definitely a nice way to camp (though we're still in the tents ourselves).
