Winter Camping in April!

It warmed up a bit and a lot of the snow melted, there was still some cloud cover but not a half bad day after all. It was very pretty up where we were.

We also brought along indoor activities since we knew it might be cold, so here is Liam doing his new favorite thing, standing up! He likes to stand up and play on this play table and we put it up on one of the bunks for him to play with, Think he is having fun? I cant really tell!!!


Liam found a water bottle that became his new favortite toy for the day, he was obviously very happy with it.

Tyler went out for a bit to play in the snow and ended up throwing snow at Emmy who just tried to eat it. Tyler loves camping and has a ton of fun regardless of weather.

Our Modest campsite. Everyone else there was in full on travel trailers and fifth wheels, they must have thought we were crazy for being out there in tent trailer. I have extra insulation that I installed though for colder weather and we had an extra space heater that we brought along, it actually stayed pretty warm inside, a littel cramped with two kids, two parent, and a dog but we had fun none the less!

Saturday morning this is what we woke up to, very pretty but a little on the cold side.


Snow in April! And we went camping in it! Crazy peoples from OryGun!

I am writing this instead of Julie so bear with me this time. We recently had a new State Park (Stub Stewart) open here in Oregon (about 35 minutes from home), so we decided to get the trailer out and take a weekend trip to celebrate my sabbatical starting. We were supposed to go with some friends but they heard it was going to be cold and wussed out on us, I said "Its April, it wont be that cold, we are still going!" Well the day we were leaving we heard it might snow, good thing I had taken measures to add extra insulation to the trailer for colder weather camping (and hunting!). Anyhow, I picked Tyler up from school early and him and I took the trailer and got it all set up and then drove back to pick up Mom and Liam. We had cooked dinner before hand (great idea Hon!) and I was just building a fire when this crazy white stuff started coming down! Needless to say it didnt stop and we woke up to about 3" of snow in the campground. We had two heaters though so we stayed warm inside.
