What we learned this weekend

We went camping this weekend at a different campground than we are used to.  It was very nice, just didn’t quite feel like “ours”.

We are all exhausted tonight….both boys have been asleep for almost an hour and their summer break has started.

We learned quite a few things this weekend

I can get a new kitchen faucet and install it in our camping trailer all by myself…and it works.

The drought is definitely over here in Georgia….I am so tired of the rain!!

When you hear thunder when you are out on the lake in a boat you might want to head to the dock as quickly as possible…especially when we had a 6 year-old, 3 year-old and 18 month old on board with us.  It was a crazy pop up storm that was like the movies.  I learned that when faced with danger my family acts calmly and together.   Matt kept asking yesterday when we got back to the trailer if we were going to be alright.,,and in fact we were!!

We should close the vents when we leave the trailer so when said pop up storm arrives unexpected we don’t have a wet trailer again.

We can replace our bathroom faucet in the trailer with an inexpensive faucet from Kmart and replace it while camping. 

We need to put more towels in the trailer because lots of rain and faucet issues need them!!!!

Take two collars for Hunter so when his breaks we don’t have to head out to the store….luckily we were headed there to get the new faucet and Lisa let us borrow one of hers until we could get him a new one.

Hunter likes the water but thinks he can’t swim.  He also provided me some entertainment when he took a poo in the lake (in about 3 inches of water) and kept turning around looking for it.

Hunter is shedding his winter coat.  The below picture is of the pile of hair I got after just about 30 minutes of brushing him tonight.  Can you see his cool new red collar??

Finally, we learned it is good to stay in school or maybe just speak English.  This is the sign that was outside the nail salon we passed tonight….

Hope you had a nice holliday and learned as much as we did!!!!
