This past weekend we took Owen on his very 1st camping trip! Actually, it was the 1st camping trip Tony & I have taken together as well--we've been camping lots of times, but in the 11 1/2 years we've been together, this was the first time we camped together! We went in with the Dunns and bought a camper that our friend Travis was selling. It has some sentimental value as well because it's the same camper that Tony has been camping in since he was 14 years old when he used to go camping with Travis & his family. It's about 20 years old, but it's in great shape and we are so excited about all the fun family camping trips we're going to take! We had such a blast despite the 3 times the guys had to put up & take down the camper! Once because it wasn't level, once because of a tornado warning (yes, we had a tornado warning and had to seek shelter in the lodge for a while and wait it out!), and then finally the last time stuck :) It rained a lot too, but that was just fine--we grilled out under the canopy and slept really well listening to the rain patter on the camper top! We stayed dry and ate non-toasted s'mores (the fire wouldn't stay lit in the rain of course!). It was such a blast, and I REALLY look forward to our next camping trip. Hopefully next time we'll stay tornado & rain free, haha! Here is a slide show of our trip, enjoy!

Fun! That is neat that y'all bought a camper : ) If you ever need some camping partners, we'll be there!
These photos are so precious. When I saw these pics I immediately thought of the Gowers camper since I remember seeing it all the time as a child (they lived one house over). Funny that it's the same one. Looks like you guys had a great time!
