We're Spoiled!

This Summer we decided to buy a pop up camper. We looked for some time and finally found one that was just what we were looking for on craigslist. So, we took it to girl's camp to try it out before our fan took it out for it's first real trip. It was everything we hoped it would be!


A few weeks after girl's camp, we went with 2 families from the ward on a week long camping trip in Greer. It was heavenly! Spending time with the Moon and Buchanan families were a BLAST!!!
We lost one tire on the camper on the way there, ad our spare had a leaky valve. But, we limped it into camp just fine. On the way back out we lost the 3rd tire.So we pulled over, unhitched everything, and ran the 30 minutes into the nearest town to get new tires. Not the adventure we wanted, but it didn't keep us from having a great trip!

The scenery was AMAZING!

One day, we went to Big Lake so some folks could fish, swim, and hunt for crawdads. They even rented a small fishing boat that they took out into the lake to fish off of. But they didn't catch anything. Boo! The little kids sure enjoyed taking it for spins though. :)

 Here's the crew at the lake...



 Shelby and Harley spent the entire trip in their happy place... with the littlest kids and babies...

Chandler and Tatum spent most of the trip-- well, somewhere else. Chandler was always off exploring with the other boys, and Tatum was always following whoever she could, wherever they'd go. It was pretty adorable.

Our friends brought a piƱata, so the kids had a good time with that...


Here's a pic of most of the kids that we had there...

 On the way home, we stopped for dinner where Shelby and I advantage of the photo-op... ;)

It was a wonderful trip, and we feel so spoiled to be able to take our wonderful camper out to make memories for our family.

When my 12 yo son Josh saw this picture he wanted to look at the boy so I downloaded the original, resized/resampled it, sharpened it and displayed the boy life size https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUP9E9RG4E-YScNNc55blZAj-2flh6byQuKgk6D_kBdSvDDgFK9XCqjHjyCDvczO-EmKaY8WvBY_OHjPnqiv9p6hHrcWF_29Vr7HOecUtSvUBloioQXGX89FPBr2Myq25XSuZkgnc8NY/s0/IMG_0770.jpg Josh commented the picture is so clear and sharp and so much detail the boy appears to be directly in front of us and he got a big kick out of that! Josh saved the picture and is going to put the boy on display life size in his bedroom in his large digital picture display. I asked why and Josh exclaimed, "OMG! Just look at him! He is like really frickin cute!" Then he leaned close and kissed him on the mouth and looked at me with a big grin and started blushing and said, "the display is warm and silky smooth so whenever I want to kiss him it will seem like I am really getting to kiss him!"
