A Camping We Will Go

It's been awhile so I have a lot to catch up on. First and foremost? Zebra.

Yes, these are the stupid zebra that my dear husband managed to capture on camera a few weeks ago when we were at our deer lease. I wasn't with him when the picture was taken, but as far as I know there are no zoos around the lease (which happens to be in the middle of nowhere), so I unfortunately have to give him the benefit of the doubt. You win, Kevin (this time).


Since our deer lease weekend, we've also taken the RV on a real camping trip! And when I say a "real camping trip" I mean a campground where not only could we could plug in and have electricity, but we also had sewer hook ups. And 3 pools. And while this is considered real camping in my world (I refuse to acknowledge the word "tent"), this is still a far cry from Kevin's version of roughing it, which involves staying at a Holiday Inn instead of a Hilton.


Our campsite:

Kevin and Sandy's campsite:

Of course all dogs must remain on a leash, so this is how Harley spent about 90% of his weekend:

And this is how Greyden spent 90% of his:

It was in the upper 90s/low 100s the entire weekend, which means that mommy was not thinking clearly when packing his bag. Here's a list of what we packed: onsies and shorts, pants, socks, and a jacket for the cooler nights, pjs, sleep sacks, and a bathing suit, all in multiples of 10, just in case. Here's a list of what we should have packed: diapers.


When we weren't parked in front of the fan, I had him indoors to cool off. He didn't mind. He could sit and stack/unstack these rings for hours. Although admittedly he looks rather confused in this picture:

Those are the best $4 I've ever spent.

Like I said, there were 3 pools at the campground but they were all filled with incredibly annoying monsters kids, so I made Kevin take us on a road trip to Target so that I could get Greyden his own pool. I had envisioned one of those little ones that are 3 feet across max. This is what we came back with. Of course it was too large for him to sit in alone so I had to get in with him. It was rough:

Stay tuned for more camping adventures to come. We'll be hitting the road and heading up to Michigan in less than 3 weeks for the 4th of July!
