As some of you know, we bought a camp trailer about a month ago. Since then I have been making it "ours"-you know like purchasing new bedding, kitchen supplies, matching towels for kitchen and bath, throw pillows for the couch and chair, etc... you get the idea. Corb has been working on his own list of making it "ours", the needed accessories from a male perspective: generator, chainsaw, chainsaw sharpener, ax (not just any old ax-but one that will split logs in one blow!), etc. We have been wanting to take it out but it seemed that every weekend with nice weather, I was working. Every weekend I had off, it was crappy weather! I had Fri-Sun off of UEA weekend, so we decided that if I could get Thursday off then we would go no matter what since we had a heater. Needless to say, I was able to get Thursday off from work and being Fall Break I didn't have school that day either! So Thursday morning we're off! The trip was great even with the mishaps we had. Here's a quick recap:
Running out of gas at the top of Emigration ( but at least we made it to the parking lot and weren't stuck on the side of the road.) Who knew the gas gauge in the truck wasn't 100% accurate!
Deciding the wind and snow up Emigration was too cold, so driving 40 or so miles to a new spot.
Disgusting dinner the first night- freezer burned steaks.. Ewww! But hey the rolls were good!
Three, yes that was 3 dead batteries! We learned that even if you climb to the top of the mountain Tmobile doesn't have coverage there. Thank heavens for some friendly campers down the road and their jumper cables. The guys at the battery store were very kind and we are now proud owners of a new battery. The boys were happy that Corb just bought a new battery so that we didn't have to go home early.
Sunshine everyday we were there, even though where we were it was shady ALL day long.
The nights were quite chilly-but the heater worked great!
The boys "ripped" it up on a little mountain trail. They found a log that they jumped over and over again. Christopher even talked me into going down it-although I am not sure you can count mine as a "jump" per say.
There was a great fire pit; it was huge and we had tons of laughs around it.
All in all it was a maiden voyage we'll never forget and a fun family memory. As we kept saying the whole trip... "We're makin' memories!"

Cute stuff! Looks like you guys had fun! And for posting pictures here's what I do... make a little list of the pictures you're going to use from your computer (I use their number) and make sure you list them in the order you will want them on your blog. Then divide them into groups of five starting from the bottom and counting up.(because you can only upload a max of 5 pics at a time) Then upload the bottom 5 first, in the correct order. Then upload the next 5, then whatever is left... you get the idea. Upload pics before you write anything because the pictures always post at the top no matter what. Hope that made sense... and good luck! :)
