Maiden Voyage

We just got back from taking our first camping trip of the year. Brad has asked all winter long if it was summer yet. He really missed the trailer. We went to Tremonton (It is near Crystal Hot Springs). The weather this last week was really cold. We spent about 95% of the time in the trailer because it was windy, snowy or rainy. We watched a LOT of movies…and just lounged around. Randy and I have been going about 100mph lately so we were in dire need of a break. It took some adjustment to go from 100 to about 5mph all at once. We got a little stir crazy at times but it was refreshing to spend some time together without being pulled in a million directions. The kids loved being in the trailer. Brad could not wait to go to bed at night. I think I might put him to bed outside in the trailer every night if it is that easy. I asked him to tell me the 5 best parts of the camping trip when we got home and he rattled off about 20 things. I am glad he had so much fun.


If any of you are thinking...."that is not camping you are bathing and watching movies"... All I can say is that I think this is the best way to camp. I am not brave enough to do it the tent way... AND...I love the furnace too much.

Camping already? How would that be. What a fun getaway. Any time away from the humdrum of life is a vacation.

Dan and I are going camping this year. First time together...could be interesting!!! But, we have a tent. Could be scary! Looks like fun though.

I've made it one of my life goals to never camp again without a trailer. Two years ago we went and I was 8 months prego. Last year when we went, I chased a one year old around and had a newly potty trained girl. Yeah, it wasn't fun.

How fun! and I totally agree, you can't 'camp' without: heat, air conditioning, media, running water, flushing toliets...basically a trailer/hotel whatever.

That sounds fun, even it you had to spend all of your time in the trailer. Sometimes all you need is to be together! I can't wait to start our camping spree. One more month, and I have a break!!
