Camping 2008
This years camping trip got off to an interesting start. After getting everything packed into the Blazer we got the dog in, in his little spot. About an hour down the road we noticed smoke coming out of the back of the Blazer. uh oh!
This would be the gas station/restaurant that we had to stop at after we found transmission fluid all over the underside of the truck. Oh, yeah, that would mean we couldn't go ANYWHERE. ugh. 
So we had to have some friends come pick us up at the gas station and drive us back home so we could get the Camry and take it instead. The good part about this whole ordeal was that we left at 10am, planning on being at the beach until we could check into the campgrounds. Which meant that with the whole truck problem, we still made it there early enough to enjoy the beach.
The girls got there own tent this year. Yay! We planned it that way because the big dog was supposed to be going with us, and he needs a lot of room. But since we had to take the car we had to leave him at home, and have our neighbor look after him for the 2 days we were gone. It was probably a good thing too, there were lots of dogs at the campgrounds and he does NOT like other dogs. We think he would have been miserable.
Sean joined in with the girls playing with their Polly Pocket dolls. He'll probably kill me for putting it on here, but hey, he'll get over it:)
Due to the lateness of our arrival and our need to go to the beach, we did dinner on the propane stove. Nothing too fancy, just chicken and potatoes. We realized when we got there how much stuff we had forgotten. Like the MARSHMALLOWS!!! Who forgets marshmallows when you go camping? Uh, that would be me:) Next time I'm writing everything down, and I mean everything!
