A Camper!





Today we went up and picked up our new (to us) camper! It towed like a dream, we managed to back it into the driveway without much frustration, and it set up and packed up really easily. We are all looking forward to our upcoming summer of camping trips.

When Avery stepped inside, he said, "You buy this Daddy?"
"Yup, I bought it."
"It's cool, Daddy. It's cool!"

Jen is going to get busy making some new curtains and then we'll be ready for our first trip. The bed Max is resting on in the picture makes up into a booth with a table. It has a sink, a three burner stove and lots of storage.

It was strange putting it up and taking it down. I remember my parents going through the same motions when I was little--cranking it down a bit then walking around tucking in the canvas before cranking it down some more. Our family had a great time camping when I was a kid, and I know that we are all going to really enjoy the camper. -jgr

Looks like a very nice camper... You should get lots of good use out of it for seasons to come. By the way, nice looking pickup truck you guys got too. (heard about it, but had not seen it yet). Happy camping!!!
