An RV, a flat tire and lots of FUN!

Anson and I just bought a Thousand Trails campground membership from Anson's brother Rob. Anson has wanted one for a long time so that we can do a lot of camping all year round. We also bought an RV to make camping easier, better and more fun! Who wants to camp in a tent anyway?! That is not my idea of a good time. So this was our first camping trip using our membership and RV!



Thousand Trails has so many bunnies all over the
campground and they aren't scared of people.
Anson had one eating right out of his hand.


The kids spent a little time on the playground. They played some putt putt golf,
but I don't have pictures of it. We also did A LOT of swimming and I don't have pictures
of that either because Anson and I were in the nice warm 80-90 degree pool swimming
with the boys.





This was the view from the deck of the lodge.

The first night, the boys roasted hot dogs
and I think I had a sandwhich. Mmm.....not really!




This is the trail we take from the campground that
goes all the way to the beach. It's a nice short walk.


Pacific City has the best sand dunes.
The last time we went there, we climbed up REALLY high
and told the boys we were not going to do that this time.
Instead, they climbed up this tiny little thing! They still had a great time.




Anson and I climbed up and watched the kids
run up and down the hill. I also took a few pictures.

Haystack Rock in the distance.

This is Anson Jr.
He is "King of the world!"


How cute are Ashton and Ammon!






A nice older couple was leaving the beach
and asked us if we wanted their fire.
And we took it!


The Anson's buried Ashton in the sand.
And made Ashton look like a pregnant lady.
I have no idea what that is about...
but he's still cute!






Later that night, we watched "RV" . It was a lot of fun!


This is what happened to our tire on the way to Pacific City.
We just didn't have any idea until after we got there.
We decided that we would take care of it when we left.



On our way home we stopped at the Les Schwab in Tillamook
and walked over to the Safeway to get a bite to eat.


Here we are back at Les Schwab just waiting for them to get done.
It took a little longer then what was expected.


And here we are back on the road.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! You are so dang lucky. We have always wanted to get something like that. WE bought a camper once, but it was crap so we dumped it. We would love to do a 5th wheel some day. How super fun. It will make camping easier. So excited to hear of all your fun places. (sorry had to do some correcting, thats why I deleted earlier)
