First Camping Trip of the Year







Last weekend, we decided to go camping to try out the pop-up that we bought off of Sheryl and Matthew. We didn't go far from home. We just went to Pipestem for two nights. It rained Friday night and was a little on the cold side. Luckily we had heat. Saturday we went around the park and took in some sights, and the kids fished a little. That night we had a fire and roasted marshmallows and hot dog weiners.
Saturday night it actually sleeted or hailed, and it was so cold that the metal on the inside of the camper had condensation. When we left on Sunday and went home, we had to set up the camper so that it could dry. It was that wet and icy on the outside. But we had a good time, and got to spend time with each other which is something that we rarely get to do. We also decided to rename the camper to cramper because it is crampy on the inside with 5 of us in there at one time. So we will have to wait for the weather to get better before we go camping again.

Oh, I'm jealous! I'm so glad that the weather is getting nicer and can start planning a camping trip. If you guys go camping at the Smokies or anything let us know. :)

You guys have used the camper more in a few months, than we did in the years we had it. :-)
