First Trip Out!

Last Friday we took our first trip out of the back yard in the camper.  We've had some sleepovers, meals, naps and used it as an office.  For our first trip we decided we wanted to go close so we headed to Cherry Creek State Park.

Firstly, getting the camper in and out of the backyard.  The first time it showed up it took almost 6 hrs to successfully navigate it around a corner in our tight alley and then into the backyard.  It got stuck several times and wasn't much fun.  After a lot of planning and some additional tools/resources it came out and in very succesfully.

Our camping trip was amazing!  The girls had a TON of fun!  They got to hike, bike, play, enjoy smores, campfire and some singing!  It was really cool to feel so isolated in a beautiful place that is smack in the middle of the city!

The camper worked brilliantly.  It towed successfully and hosted for rainy day play time, meal time and sleep time.

We're super pumped for camping season this year with all our girls and our 'new' super fun camper!  What a blessing!
All hitched up and ready to go!
