Bring on the rain, we've got a trailer now.... We'd been promising the kids camping over the 4th. As we got closer, the forcast was rain, rain, and more rain. Our tent had a huge hole in it, so we either needed a new tent, or little trailer like we'd always wanted. So we started the craigslist search. The kids would get so frustrated when we'd drive an hour away to look at one and then not buy it. We finally found a trailer we liked late Thursday night. We woke up bright and early Friday morning and worked on it all day (cleaning it, etc), and arrived at our campsite in Plymouth around 11pm that night. We noticed we the campsites were pretty close together, and our neighbors were a little too close for comfort. Needless to say, my efforts of keeping the kids quite in our first night sleeping in the trailer were lost....our neighbors were gone by 8am. There was a 4 night min. stay, but I went down and pleaded with the campsite host--either to let us leave early or give us a site a little further away---and she gave us a group campsite. It was FABULOUS. We had a ton of room all to ourselves, didn't bother a soul. And with 5 kids & 4 dogs, we needed it (3 puppies).

A little 4th of July parade around the campground...

Late night boggle game.....so happy my kids like to play my favorite game with me!!
They weren't big, but we caught a ton, and they were FUN to catch!

Even Luke caught 4 fish all himself.
Adam had to get back to work, so Sunday night he took 2 puppies and headed home. I stayed with the kids till Tuesday, and hooked up/towed the trailer home all by myself!!!
