Our first time out w/ the pop-up - Grand Lake 8/13-8/15


FRIDAY: So after having the trailer for only a day and staying up until 1am stocking it, we set off for the mountains. I wasn't sure how the Kia would pull the trailer over the pass. Adam said he had his foot all the way on the floor a couple of times, but we made it (and we didn't even hold up traffic). Once we got there, the boys were off exploring the campground on their bikes. Setting up the trailer was fairly easy (using our cheat sheet really helped).

SATURDAY: We spent a sun filled day on the lake with our friend Mike and his girlfriend Kim. We were in Mike's folks boat. Moe is definitely a water dog, he loved being on the boat. I was afraid at first that he would jump off, but he didn't. We stopped and Adam and the boys did some fishing (no luck). Then we found one of the fingers and docked on the beach and played in the COLD water. Jack tried fishing again, but came up empty. He got good at casting though. That night we made banana boats, something Kim suggested. They were so YUMMY!! They might replace s'mores (probably not).


SUNDAY: We cooked eggs and sausage on our outside burner and then packed up (so easy) and drove home.

The thing I liked best was coming into the camper at night after sitting by the fire (because it was chilly), and putting on the heater. It was so warm and toasty in the trailer!!!

Overall: We are SO excited we bought the pop-up (even with the little things that went wrong). The step broke the first day we got there (still not fixed). The air hose was kinked when Adam was filling up the water tank so we ran out of water on Saturday around dinner. We weren't sure if the hot water heater was working (but we just didn't know how it was supposed to work). BUT having HEAT at night made up for all those things!!! : )
