Camping, fishing, crafting, Scouts...oh my! 2017 and 2018 was a whirlwind of activity! In July 2017 we added this to our camping equiptment:

My husband has been saying for YEARS that he wanted a PopUp trailer. I did NOT want s PopUp. I am perfectly fine camping in a tent. He hates it. I could count on one hand how many times he actually went camping with us as a family. So when we went "to look" at the trailers I told him No way were we getting a PopUp. So we ended up with the RV above, a Jayco Hybrid. Three beds folded out with canvas sides. It had a stove, fridge, heat and AC. In the beginning we did like it, however those beds....uncomfortable and difficult to put in and out. 😣 Also because I get motion sickness, My daughter and I each had a bed to ourselves, and my hubby and son shared a bed. To get to their bed you had to climb across the bench seat. VERY ANNOYING!

So then we upgraded and hubby got a "big boy truck". The downside was my truck, fondly known as Shania, was traded in and I now have the SUV.

The following July we decided to upgrade! This new RV has a bigger fridge, sink, bunk beds, bigger bathroom, bigger table, the kids have bunk beds, and the hubby and I have a Queen sized bed. There is also a couch! Oh and lots more room to move!

People keep teasing him about upgrading again next July, but we will be keeping this one for a while.

We camped more in that year then in the 18 years prior to that!! Yes it still rains, and yes there are some really hot days, but this baby makes it all bearable!!!

I still do tent camping a lot with the Cub/Boy scouts. But man is it nice to get away in the RV!!!
