It’s Been A Long Time…

It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t of left you without a dope beat to step to! That is one of my favorite lines from the Aaliyah/ Timbaland song, Try Again.  I don’t have a dope beat to give you but I do feel like I shouldn’t of left my blog for so long.

We have been camping consistently. I’m simply a bit too lazy to update my blog like I should. I hope to do better but I can’t make any promises. Trust me, I am that lazy!

This weekend we are in Weedsport New York at River Forest campground. We are attending the New York state fair for the very first time.

The campground is very large and clean. There is an on-site restaurant but the hours or 4 p.m. until 4 the bar in 5 p.m. through 9 p.m. for the restaurant. The other night, I ordered wings. Unfortunately I felt the wings were not that good. They looked as if they were boiled in water and then covered in barbecue sauce. I actually had to start up the oven in the RV and continue to bake them until I got some sort of a crispy skin. But I can tell you that the people here are very friendly. I haven’t looked up the cost for a seasonal campsite, but this could be a potential home.

It is late as I’m writing this blog but I do plan on updating this post (with photos) very soon.

 

 

Ready for 2013 Camping Season

We took a year off and now we’re back! The family was not happy that we did not get out to camp in 2012, but it was necessary for us to focus on other areas. Boy how we missed it!

We have our first trip planned for Memorial Day and I still need to finalize the rest of the summer. The family is EXCITED to get back into the groove of camping!

Our annual (minus 2012) July fourth trip will be in Pittsburgh, PA this year. My best friend since 2nd grade is getting married. And it’s too expensive for a family of six to stay in a hotel for 4 nights and although my sister is in that area, there’s just not enough room.

We plan on hitting up Kennywood on July 4th with the bride and groom! I’ve not been to Kennywood since 1991! 

OK…enough about July (I’m so exited)! I just wanted to share that we are on like Donkey Kong for 2013!

 

I’m Still Here and Camping

Ok…I told a little lie.

We’re not camping now, but we’re still campers. 2012 was a rough year and we decided to take a break. It was hard on the kids. They continually asked “when are we going camping?”

I had to get through some personal craziness and Will was busy getting the finances back on course. We also had our eldest child get his first summer job and that made it very hard to even get away for a night. I felt like a co-owner of my own vehicle!

We are looking forward to new camping adventures in 2013. Since our last season, we learned our eldest daughter had an allergy to bees!

Can you imagine! She’s been camping since she was a year old (she is now 10) and we’ve never had a bee incident. It took an afternoon of sitting in the GARAGE to encounter a crazy bee. Now we travel with the sacrexd Epi-pen. We have these pens everywhere!

We are looking forward to new adventures in 2012! The camper is in winterization mode and the entire family is revving to go.
