Pop Up Camping

A few weeks ago we bought a older pop up camper that we found on craigslist. We had to wait until we were able to get a hitch put on the blazer before we could go camping. Finally the first weekend in October everything fell into place!! Timmy had the weekend off and the kids were out of school on the Friday. We packed up everything and headed to Greenlee Campground MaySprings in Rutledge about 20 miles from our house. Everyone was very excited!!

When we arrived at the campsite it was raining very lightly, but the weather said it wouldn't last long. We started turning the crank to put up the camper, when it was about a quarter of the way up it slammed back down!! OH no what happened was all we could think of! Well it seemed that the crank was striped and we weren't going to be able to lift the camper, we will have to head home! Timmy suggested that we try to lift it manually and he and TJ got inside and lifted the roof up from the inside (fortunately it is not very heavy). It worked and we were able to lock it in place and enjoy our trip.

The kids fished and played football. Tyler bought his telescope and showed us all the moon at night. It was a beautiful big full moon!

TJ was the only one who caught a fish! We threw it back after its photo shoot.
