A camping we will go

Our family loves to camp BUT since Ashlynn has been born it has been so hard. 1st she was so young it was either cold or hot. Then she was going through this sleeping thing that was so unbearable and all of us would rather sleep in a tree than in the trailer with her. We have canceled several trips at the last minute because we were all not looking forward to the stress with taking her. We even let her stay with a friend last Easter just so we could go and let the other kids have a good time. Anyways, this weekend we all knew it was time! We packed up and headed out to Martin Dies Jr. State park with our friends Meagen,Jacob and Madalyn. We all needed this trip and the weather has been beautiful. So out we go....about the first hour and a half Ashlynn whinned,cried and yelled at Nick to stop singing. We all have learned to tune it out but it was getting annoying, not to mention the fact we are all quiet at first since we are pulling the trailer. We made it!! We all pile out of the truck and go into the park office...so excited to be in the woods on such a sunny day. I go to check in and the lady says..."we don't have a reservation for you" YES YOU DO! I pull out my confirmation email...she then says "Oh my the call taker put you at Martin creek" NO SHE DIDN'T I said...we are meeting our friends! We worked it all out and everything was ok. I was getting nervous but trying to remain calm. (Martin Creek was another 2 hrs away and no way was I staying in the car with Ashlynn that long)
So we were able to get a spot and as we drove to our site I quickly forgot how long the drive seemed and the checking in process. Everyone was looking out the windows with excitment as we drove to our site.


What a beautiful site! This weekend is getting better by the minute.

As we unload and set everything up we realize the electricity at our site is not working. NO! I love this site. It is private,secluded and on the water. Not to mention the fact that I grabbed the site next to us for Meagan and Jacob. I quickly call the office. Of course they have a park ranger who will come check it. But the thought came across my mind...Do we really need electricity? OMG yes we do!

All done! You guys have a great weekend! What a nice Man he was to hurry out and fix our electricity.

So have I mentioned yet we are so excited? We LOVE to be outdoors and camping.
