In September we bought a camper trailer. Mike loves to go camping and has been dragging me (kicking and screaming!) tent camping once a year for the last couple of years. The kids love it too, but no matter how hard I tried, I could just not get into the camping spirit. It always seemed like such a chore! Last month we decided we would buy a camper so that we could go camping without it being so difficult. We have already gone camping twice, and I must say, it is so much nicer camping with a few of the amenities of home. I think I most enjoy having a bathroom, but the refrigerator is a very close second. The air conditioner is a nice touch too. Last weekend, the girls had a three day weekend, so we headed over to the west coast of Florida. It was a nice trip! Lots of things to do. We went kayaking and saw a small group of manatee and four raccoons. It seemed there was a fish jumping out of the water every five seconds and there were birds everywhere! The cousins got to come down Saturday and spend the night, so the girls had a great time hanging out with them. The camper site was within site of the playground, so Rachel spent a lot of her time there. I really need to teach that girl how to swing herself!
The new camper!
Rachel plays in the "surf." I love the Gulf of Mexico! It is not rough like it is over here on the Atlantic side of the state.
The west coast allows for some beautiful sunsets. I am sure we have beautiful sunrises over here on the east side, but I am never at the beach at sunrise!
Leah practices here cartwheels.
Rachel rehydrates after a round of swinging and sliding.
