It's Not Really Roughing It When...

...you take a 40 foot fifth wheel.  But even at that, I'm thinking a tent would be a heck of alot easier to get ready!

We got our camper 4 years ago.  We used it alot the first few years, but then work and things just kept getting in the way.  Now it gets to be loved once a year really.  Sad, isn't it?  Poor thing has never been out of the state!!  Oh, the visions I had of taking it places!  I suppose there is still lots of time for that.

Today we had to get down and dirty cleaning the monster. 

The death toll:

No mice (always a good thing!)
Three dead birds and a heck of alot of feathers!
Lady bugs by the thousands!
One beat Mom!
One Aunt who will never volunteer anything ever again!

So the casualties were as expected!  Nothing went unturned.  Every pot, pan, spoon, book, bottle, towel, pillow...everything came out!  I have mounds of laundry yet to do.  We washed walls, cupboards, appliances, everything!  Oh, and the ladybugs keep coming back!  Any one have a good remedy for those???

My Mom called a bit ago and asked me if I took any photos of them today.  Of course not!  Who wants to be pictured looking like Hazel with their backs and butts facing the camera?

Muahahahaaha!

THANK YOU, Mom and Aunt Bena!  You made it seem like fun and I will get you's back!

We've had so many good times with family and friends on our weekend and holiday camping trips!  I can't wait to add a few more!

Warning:  Long Photo Gallery!


Her Maiden Voyage!
 
Sometimes We Drink...too much.

Maybe even pass out!
"I don't need no stinkin' camper!"

We do the dirty work...Blech!

We bring cool toys!

We get much needed R&R
He really does sleep like that!

We see beautiful places!

Old habits die hard though!


Sometimes we do things we wouldn't otherwise!
That was my motorcycle :)
 
We take time to stop and smell the errr...roses?

We are silly!
  
We catch big fish with friends!

Sometimes it gets dangerous!

We see wildlife!

We spend quality time together???



We catch our first fish...hesitantly and with big grins!

And even bigger grins!
Not even a bum shoulder keeps us or the puppies away!

No dog left behind!
  
Sometimes we smile for the camera!

Yeah, we play music by the fire!


We eat bad food...
We eat really good food!
But mostly, we enjoy!
