A camping we will go...!

 We recently acquired a permanently parked camper located 40 minutes north of our house.  We aren't sure what to call it yet...the camper, the cabin, the lake (since the property it's located on it called The Lake in the Woods), or our hillbilly vacation home, but whatever we call it, the kids love it!  Their favorite part is the golf carts of course, but who can blame them?  We have been having lots of fun exploring the woods on them and so far we've only been lost once :) 

 The best part about the new camper is that it gives us the opportunity to take the kids camping on a regular basis.  We didn't camp at all last year due to a busy and very hot summer!  With air conditioning in the camper, a little heat won't keep us away!  It is also nice not having to pack up the van just to go camp for a night.  It is a lot of work getting everything together and then unpacking it all the next day when we get home.  With the camper, we don't have to do any of the work anymore! 

 The "camper" from the road.  (The boat belongs to Nathan's boss who hasn't picked it up just yet.)

 Closer view.  The previous owners had a living room attached to the actual camper doubling the living space.

 The woods behind us.  It's so peaceful!  Trenton has already cleared a trail for us to the creek below.
 
 Inside the extra living room.  I haven't had a chance to make it cute yet, or put in carpeting!

Trenton's trail to the creek directly behind our camper.  It was completely wooded and overgrown before he started.  Pretty impressive! 
 The reward for all of Trenton's hard work...he made it to the creek!!  Isn't it beautiful?  He is going to start on more trails now that he accomplished his first goal of getting us down to the creek.


 The other golf cart.  It is much smaller than the other one, so this is the one the kids are allowed to drive around.  Trenton had a good time with a friend over the weekend.
