We finally got to take our new trailer out. It was exciting and nerve racking at the same time. Getting used to something different always has it's ups and downs. Eric and Parker decided to head up the canyon Friday morning when Eric got off work. Maisie and her friend Emma, who came with us, waited until I got off work and then we headed up the canyon. Eric had called me early in the afternoon and informed me that he had ripped off the back jack when he was pulling into the campsite. First time out and he already broke my trailer. I ran by Gordon's and picked up a jack, that ended up being the wrong one and not working. Oh well. Me and the girls got up there about 7 we fixed dinner and than just hung out. We were all kind of tired, so we didn't do much Friday night. Saturday morning we slept in and as we were preparing breakfast the kids went for a bike ride down the road a little bit and came back and said my good friend, Michelle, was camping at the end of the road. I knew she was going to be camping this weekend but she was going to try and get a site at Bear Lake. Well I guess late Friday night, they ended up camping by us. It was so dark that they didn't know exactly where we were. She had already been down to the health clinic that morning cause her daughter ended up cutting her leg with the hatchet.
Sallie and Jerry came up about 1:00 to visit for the day. The boys shot their guns and had a great time blowing stuff up. We fixed pork chops and beans and potatoes for dinner and then visited around the fire.
Sunday, we took our time getting up and fixing breakfast and then later ended up going down to Bear Lake for a shake. That evening Michelle and her kids and hubby came and hung out at our fire. We had a really good time and decided they needed to come camping with us more often.
Monday we left about noon to head home. We decided we would run by Gordon's on the way home and drop off the jack and order the right one. We also wanted to ask them about our awning because it was having a hard time retracting back in when we would live it out for long periods of time.
Backing the trailer into the driveway was stressful, but Eric did finally get it in after almost taking out the house and Maisie. It is going to take awhile to get used to, but I know it will get easier to maneuver.
