OuR 1st CaMpiNG TriP in OuR NEW Camper

Well, almost a month after buying our new camper, we were able to go camping. Thanks to my dad for towing it up to the campground! Pat has to work till at least 7pm every week night and 6pm on saturdays. Well, my dad set up our camper, thank goodness he knows about campers, because i am a complete newby to the whole camper camping thing. I was then alone in the DARK, ok, i had electric but it was DARK outside, with the kids and Grace. Pat finally arrived around 10:30 pm. I DID NOT SLEEP @ all! Ellie kept me up all night. Pat went to work on Saturday and left by 7:30am. Did i mention yet, that Grace is in heat!! So KC is an absolute nut!! Pat took KC with him, so i did not have to explain the whole birds and bees to Ben, who can not stop saying WHY, WHY, WHY, even when you have explained everything possible and every different way possible. So i thought, I am going to be a good mom and take the kids to the lake and let Grace swim. We were having a wonderful time. Grace is an awesome swimmer and Ben did a GREAT job at throwing sticks in the water for her. It was time to go to the mining claim for a family get together so i turned to get everything in order, and Ellie threw something in the lake for Grace to get. The only problem is, CAMERAS don't float. In to the lake i went~ Ben screaming that i was going to drown, and Ellie looking so dang cute just waiting for me to retrieve her "STICK". No such luck~ and i was soaked!!! i had no extra clothes in the car, so all the way back to the campground, soaking wet and smelling like FISH! So now i have no pictures, just this blog for my memory of camping. We went to the mine, and wow, do i love my dad's family, THEY ALL HATE DOGS!!!! i could not hear one more word about dogs from my aunt or i would of ........ well, we made that a quick trip to the mine. on the way back to the campground it started pouring! i made 2 trips from the car to the camper and i was soaked all the way through my underclothes!!! so now, my type of camping is WiFi and cell service. so i was checking out 2peas, and my computer CRASHED!!! have i told you that, that is where all of my pictures were!!! yeah, no longer have my pictures!! Dell is sending me a new piece to hopefully fix my computer, but all info is going to be gone!!!! OUCH! so there was our first camping trip. many more like it, and i will decide camping is just way too expensive. And can i say that i loved my camera!! I hope Horsethief Lake enjoys it as much as i did!
