Campie

We just bought a used pop-up camper and we're sooooo excited! We wanted to take a long trip this summer (after Rob being in school for seven long years) and we decided that we wanted to shop around for a used pop-up camper. Nothing fancy, just something to camp in that would provide a little more comfort and shelter than a tent. We found this one only a 1/2 hours drive from us for $1000 but when we met with the man to look at it he said our children reminded him so much of his own children that he gave it to us for $600!!! How cool is that?! His kids (who are teenagers now) told us that they always called it "Campie" and we think it would be wrong to change it's name. :) So "Campie" is now a part of our little family.

We have a three week trip planned for this summer but we are keeping the details of our trip secret because we really need this trip to be just about the four of us - three solid weeks of big open spaces and family fun and bonding.

It has two sides that pull out to make two full sized beds. Malachi thinks he's going to get one to himself but I think Mommy may end up bunking with him cuz Mommy and Daddy won't fit too well in a full... we'll see though...

It has electric and water hook ups, a little stove, sink, and table area that folds down into Elise's bed. (She claimed it right away!)

We are all very excited about our up-coming adventure! And of-course I'll blog all about it when we get back! We'll keep ya posted!
