family camping adventure.....

What better way to spend the last week in July than to camp??? Now everyone has their own definitions of camping; we have friends who put packs on their backs, hike a while on a trail, then go off trail and find a spot to camp - if you can't carry it, you can't take it is their motto!! Our definition is a little different! We have a travel trailer with ac/heat, shower and toilet, fridge, stove and oven, two tvs.... we camp at Thousand Trails campgounds so there is always tons to do! We got here the day before Big S's 10th bday so we got to make her cake in the oven - devil's food with chocolate icing which she decorated with m&ms! It was really cute!! We hung up banners and blew up balloons the night before so she was surprised in the morning! Any wway you slice it, eleven days is a long time to spend together in a confined space! So far we are surviving nicely!! There may be some sibling assault charges by the end of the week so if the heat doesn't kill us, they may still kill each other! BIL is with us too, so there are 3 kids and 3 adults in our little trailer - luckily I run a pretty well oiled machine when we are camping - unlike at home ;) I'll post later and let you know how we're surviving!!!

Eleven days!! Wow, you're a trooper! Have a great time, we're headed camping Sunday-Wednesday...i'd rather be in a hotel, but I sacrifice like a mother/wife of campers does.

How fun! I, too, prefer trailer camping over tent camping, especially with kids. We've done both, but the trailer makes things ever so much easier. Enjoy, and good luck in the heat!

FYI, I tagged you in my last blog!

Yup - 11 days is a long time! Hope you guys have fun! We're off to Cabo on Friday for our very first to get marrried! How fun - I'll be a mother-in-law (and hopefully soon, but not too soon, a grandma!)
