We did forget a few things...like our lawn chairs. They were still in the little car from church in the park the morning we left. And we also forgot the Hersey bars to make smores. Thank goodness for the camp store! Oh, and yes, those items were on my list....just forgot to do the run-down before we left.
Max took this picture of Mom and Dad! Pretty good shot buddy!
The kids still had to do chores while camping....I'm such a mean mom!
The beach was the best part!
We had so much fun playing in the sand!
and taking pictures!The bugs were bad and both kids (and parents) came home with way too many bites. So if you see us all scratching for days...you'll know why!
The only other problem....which we are laughing about now (at least till the bill comes) is that "Harvey" decided he didn't want to come home. We had a problem with the crank wench that raises and lowers the pop-up. A very large cable "jumped" and we couldn't get the pop-up to come down. After several calls to local dealers...we finally got the park ranger and several other campers to help us cut the cables and lower the pop-up by hand. Not an easy task for even 6 of us. So after a long while of freaking out (that would be me!)....we finally got on the road about three hours after we had planned to. We got home fine and now we will be taking "Harvey" to the doctor to get fixed.
I'm thinking a mobile unit that comes around to help out stranded campers might be a good little business to start! People would be willing to pay a lot to get some help and get on the road!
Needless to say....our first trip with "Harvey" was definitely memorable.

Glad you guys had fun. Love all the pictures! Sorry to hear about Harvey. :(
I'm glad you had fun! I love those sand pics! What a way to end your time. We had a pop up and once when we were ready to leave, our tire was flat and the bolts wouldn't come off. It took lots of help to get it changed, but finally we were on the road.
Sounds memorable and a lot of fun. So many fun memories! All of the pictures are sooooo good, but the one of Maggie is outstanding! Great job!!!!
You captured some wonderful pix to document these memories. And yay for kids who can take pix of mom and dad, too. :)
