Flamping is a good word for it!!!!!! The main thing is you enjoyed it and so did the rest of the family. Glad you were finally able to get out. Your blog post sounded like yourself again, rested and happy. Hope you get to go at least one more time before winter sets in.

Kristina,
Looks like a perfect camping trip. We are going this weekend with a bunch of our friends. We all reserved on area and we park in a big circle. We are sharing food and just having fun. I am so excited to get going.

I have to admit, I traded in my campfire peculator for an electric coffee pot. He he! I can make it on the propane stove too, but for a large family, we use the stove and the campfire for breakfast, so the coffee pot was well worth it. I found a 12 cup one for $8.96. College is starting, so deals are everywhere here now.
I need to invest in more pie irons too. We have the space in the camper, and using one with out big family doesn't work out so well.
If you get a chance, go check my blog again. I bought a pop-up camper Christmas ornament!

Last night, the kids helped me put the camper back down. Thunderstorms were in the forecast (which never arrived, but anyway).
We did great. It's taken us a few times to do it correctly, without snagging anything in the process. The guys at the dealership were rough when they put it down, ripping one seam, which I still need to sew up.
Also, they told us the fridge worked, and took 45 minutes to get to the right temperature. We were there that long, but it never got that cold. We tried it over the camping weekend, and found that it does NOT work.
It's definitely a "fixer upper" but I still like "her." We may never replace the fridge. We always have coolers. So that can wait. I hope to get you all inside photos soon. I seem to put it down as fast as we put it up.
I grew up camping with a pop-up, so I am really enjoying it.

Glad you had fun. We had one just like yours for a while until the economy went poof. Miss those days and envy your camping trip. Do it again and post more pictures, I will live vicariously from your trips.
God bless,

Flamping, it needs to be put in the dictionary just as glamping does.
Happy glamping!!! |
