It was a great idea, but we exercised horrible timing. Both girls had been battling colds, yet we decided to ignore their ailing bodies and proceed with our plans. There was no way we could cancel, right? We were meeting our friends the Cranmers....Brian's parents were already there waiting for us....Judy and Rocky (my sister and brother-in-law) graciously let us borrow their trailer....and the weather is starting to get cooler, so this was probably our last opportunity to go camping this summer.
Lets just say we gave "roughing it" a whole new meaning. Both girls got sick Friday night (don't worry J&R, the camper didn't take any direct hits), and we spent much of the two nights hearing two little girls cough up their lungs. Not to mention, we woke to a water leak Saturday morning that had the dinette storage area flooded (don't worry J&R, handyman Brian got things under control in no time).
Although I've painted a horrible picture, it really wasn't all bad. There's something about mountain air, and apparently dirt according to the girls, that makes everything better. We had a lovely time hanging out with our friends and Mom & Bob. The kids played great together. And we went camping with the girls....we really did it!
