We are back from our first camping trip with our new toys. Since Jacob has little to no experience pulling a trailor I was really nervous about our first trip out, but he did great. Even having to stop at the gas station went smoother that I thought it would. (I stressed out about that one all day)

We camped out at Cedar Fort. Basically it is about 30 min from our house going West. There is no electricity out there so we took a generator. There were 4 other families who camped with us in their trailors. There were lots of kids running around so they had a great time exploring and chasing each other around. Rory and Jenny had a golden retriever puppy that John became good friends with from the start. Shortly after arriving John was rolling around in the dirt with Dexter.The wind was really bad Saturday and Sunday when we were there and made it really hard to sit outside at times. We got to hang out in the trailor playing games, watching tv, and reading.

Our first night was interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We turned off our generator because our batteries were supposed to have enough power to run the heater through the night. At around 1:00 I woke up freezing to the beeping noise of our carbon monoxide detector. It was beeping for low voltage and it was an ice box in our trailor. Jacob had to go out and crank up the generator for the rest of the night. After that we were nice and toasty.

It was a great trip other than the wind.

I neglected to mention when we got our trailor and truck we also got a couple of four-wheelers to go with it. They have great riding trails all up in the area we stayed in.

WE survived our first camping trip and can't wait to explore other camping areas.

This is at what is called the "Bowl". It really looks like a big bowl. People come and jump these hills with motorcycles and four-wheelers. Don't worry-- we did not do any jumping. The kids absolutely loved riding the four-wheelers. Alyssa kept giggling. She also named all the places we rode by. She had lion lane, bear stew, deer graveyard, rocky road, and rocky mountain.

This was a view we came to one time. I must say, the picture does it no justice. It was beautiful.

WE had so much fun.

P.S.--the four wheelers really aren't ours. We just borrowed them from one of our friends we were camping with.
