For our first trip we decided to take it to a state park that was only about an hour away so we didn't have to deal with fighting rush hour traffic. As we headed that way and we went through our check list of things we brought we started realizing the things we didn't bring. For the most part the only major things we forgot were chairs for us to relax in and wood for us to have a campfire. Thankfully...Brent, Christian, Matthew, and their dog Freckles coming to join us later that night after they got off work. It was great to have some seasoned RV friends meeting up with us to enjoy the weekend and they had more than enough chairs to sit a small army as well as wood for our camp fires. We enjoyed having friends to hang out with around the campfire as well as friends that could give us tips and suggestions. Jason was pretty sure he knew what he was doing but it helped to reassure him as he watched everything from set up to take down being done.
While waiting for our friends we found ways to entertain ourselves. It was neat watching all of the RV slots fill up and being surrounded by every one taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Kaylie helped set up things in the RV, the dogs sat at attention ready to bark at any moment, and Jason and I relaxed by reading some magazines. We cooked hamburgers for dinner and snacked on chips and salsa. Our friends showed up close to 10pm which was perfect timing. We were able to get two slots that shared each other in a wooded area which helped seclude us and kept us from disturbing other people as we helped them get situated. We learned one valuable tip that they were able to help us with...bring an egg crate for the adult bed. I can not imagine if we hadn't been given that to use.
For a child that loves to collect rocks we chose the right place to visit. She tried to pocket so many different types of rocks. I finally had to let her take home a rock to make her happy. The rest had to stay "in their home."
She was so sweet and loving to the dogs. She spent a lot of time taking care of them and making sure they were happy. To sweet!
We had to chain both dogs up to make sure they didn't take off. Pretty sure if they got the chance they would take off. The only problem was that they kept getting twisted around each other as well as trees and poles. Kaylie decided to go over and help "save" Shiner.
She found a rock that looked just like a heart. It made me so happy when she brought it over and gave it to me to keep.
