The Great Outdoors.

We bought this:
and took it to the Spruces for it's maiden voyage. It was VERY cold, wet and rainy but hey, what better way to spend time together in the new trailer? We saw a TON of wildlife. Moose came right through our spot several times and a few deer made their appearance. Pot guts, or "beer guts" as Sieauna called them were everywhere and ate right out of our hands! Squirrels and even a few sneaky mice (who chewed through the garbage bags causing a 3:00 AM ruckus) were abundant. There was even this CRAZY hummingbird that feasted on the hummingbird feeder we brought up and when we took it down...the darn thing tried to attack my head! SERIOUS!
Justin called me from work the following Friday (Father's Day weekend) and said "How soon can you have the trailer packed?" So we went on a last minute trip to Coalville. I told the in laws where we were headed and they also made the spur of the moment decision to come with us. I'm so glad they did! What a fun way to spend Father's Day! This trip was way different from Spruces. First of all, we went from 30 degree weather to 70 degrees. Secondly, call me a diva if you must, but I am in love with the term "full hook-ups". I loved being able to use as much water as I needed and it totally helped with the kids late night potty breaks! The kids had a ball playing in the stream on our site. This was definitely a trip of relaxation with nice long walks past the "witches pond" and late night chats. I did miss the fire pit that we were allowed in Spruces (even if everything did smell like smoke afterward). I found it funny how you don't get bored when you're doing "nothing". Justin and Ken loved their Father's Day trip and we are completely loving this "camping" thing. We are way excited that we have many more trips planned for this summer.
