Camping with my Kiddies ~ Part 2

Hello everybody! I just wanted to tell you about the fun time I had with my boys this time! It was great! Instead of going back up to Plymouth we ended up going to Coalville. Much better choice!! We started the evening monday night with the boys going to school with me. They enjoyed meeting my teacher and trying to understand what he was saying. They were lost most of the time, but did enjoy going. We left straight from school to Coalville. This campground is so much prettier than the last one. Again I took pictures, but will have to figure out how to upload them. My computer is being very stupid right now. Anyways! We probably had the prettiest campsite there. We were surrounded by trees and got to see several squirrels, chipmunks, chickadees (I think I spelled that wrong, but it's my favorite bird), robins, and some bigger birds. I am not sure, but I think that they were some kind of hawk. Monday night Aryus taught me how to hook up my sewer and how to dump that as well as the grey water. He also helped me hook up the water and I already knew how to plug in the electric. Tuesday we went for a walk with Noel around the campground and met some really nice people and dogs. We went swimming after lunch and then played games. The boys made a fire and we tried cooking hobo dinners. They turned out to be more ash than dinner though. Next time we will do them in the oven!! We made it home without any problems and they also are looking forward to doing this again with me next year. Now I am preparing to take Arianna and Sabrina for their turn. So far my fridge is warm not cold and it's raining with thunder and lightening. This is gonna be fun! Well until saturday.....So long and farewell!! I love you all!
Ps.. I did spell check and fixed the spelling of chickadee! Yeah!

Camping with my Kiddies ~ Part 1

I thought this year that I would start a new tradition. Alan is wonderful about taking the kids out on dates once a month. I figured that it's my turn. Monday night I left with Laura, Karalynn, Darcy and Noel for a 2 night camping trip. I drove our little motorhome up to Plymoth, Utah (just north of Tremonton an hour north of where we live) to stay at the Plymoth Hot Springs Campground with camperworld. I let the girls pick the meals and they got to go with me for the shopping! They were excited!! There really isn't a whole lot to see there, but the pool was wonderful!! We even got lucky and accidently picked camping spot #13! The girls were pretty excited when I told them that 13 is Grandma Case's lucky number! They loved playing at the little playground and taking Noel for walks. I did take a few really great pictures that I will share with you! Hope you are all doing well and stay tuned for Camping with my Kiddies ~ Part 2 starring ~ Aryus and AJ!
