Camping Adventure!





























At the end of the summer, we inherited Todd's parents 1974 Prowler camper trailer. The kids were soo excited! We aren't experienced campers, and it took us all day to pack, but we finally hit the road at 4:30pm on Saturday night. We went to a nearby reservoir called Rockport and lucked into a spot! Zach caught a few fish, the girls swam and we played games and had a nice camp fire. We marveled at how many more stars we could see than at home. Gorgeous! Then we snuggled into our miniature home away from home for a cozy nights sleep. Our final summer adventure before back to school. Lauren said it was one of her favorite adventures of the whole summer.
