Since our first camping trip was not the best we decided we needed a second try. We went camping again this weekend. This time making sure the trailer was pinned, we had flashlights, matches & lighter, lots of extra blankets, Greg sewed up the tear in the canvas and plenty of gas for the generator. We made it to the camp site with out incident.

Once the generator was running we plugged in the trailer and the lights weren’t working. Greg looked at the wires, checked the fuses but still they didn’t work. Luckily we had flashlights for light. We cooked a great dinner – pork & pasta. Then we had hot chocolate and marshmallows. We went out to sit by the fire. The kids liked the fire and we had to keep pulling them away from it until it popped really loud. It scared Jaelee and she didn’t even want to look at the fire after that. She cried every time she saw it and closed her eyes or hide in my chest. So her and I went in the trailer and read books, played and watched Cinderalla, Jayse and Greg hung out by the fire.

As it was getting close to bed time we all went inside the trailer and started to watch Braveheart (I had never seen it). We made it through a little bit of it before the kids were ready to sleep. We put them to sleep and Greg and I went outside to enjoy the fire. We made it through the whole night with the generator running only having to get up once to refill it with fuel. Then we had breakfast and finished half of Braveheart before packing up. While we packed up the twins played in the sand and the water. Having a lot of fun until it was time to clean them up and they were covered in sand and cold.

Once again this camping trip still had it’s downfalls but we had a lot of fun and we look forward to trip #3 as we have now worked out all the kinks and we know it will be the lucky charm.
