Chatfield State Park

As we wait on my car to arrive, our house to close, etc. we are enjoying some lazy days at Chatfield State Park. The kids are enjoying a park that's just a few yards away. We've wandered to the lake more than a few times. We've taken some time to be artsy outdoors and - we have even melted some crayons in a batch of laundry.

Our first day here was gorgeous. But, we learned a quick and important lesson. "Microbursts" can come through without any warning...and rip your awning totally off the RV! So amidst all the other chaos, we are waiting for an insurance adjuster to come peak at our crumpled up and ruined awning. We'll be looking forward to getting that fixed soon!



While Daddy is at work, we just try to enjoy each other. Most days we find it's easy -- just like being on vacation. :) But, the days that we do find hardest are when the hot sun creeps over and hangs out. Mid-afternoon can be blazing hot! And, well...since we've got no awning and relatively little shade - we hang out in the RV during the hot, Hot, HOT hours and get on one another's nerves.



In summary - I think this camping experience, which may expend on to 3+ weeks, is one that earns us raised eyebrows from most. It's working out to be a perfect solution for us (& our pets!) and I think we're assured some pretty fantastic memories that will stay with us forever.

Hey kids.. Remember that one time... that we camped forever??
