After years of discussion and looking online at trailers, we finally took the plunge and got one. We found this on KSL classifieds. We were going up to Orem for the baby shower and Scott was able to go look at it one day and then we bought it before heading home. We are the third owners but it is in really great shape and pretty well taken care of. It has 2 king size beds and a pop out table which adds so much room. It has a big storage area on the front and under most of the seats. It does have a little shower\toilet combo but we won't use it often. It wasn't something we had to have, but the rest of this trailer was so good we went with it.We are still figuring it all out. We got it home and opened it up to clean and inspect it. I washed and bleached and Febreezed so that it could feel more like "ours." I ordered new mattress covers, and thanks to Amazon Prime they were here in no time. The girls are so thrilled, they played in it and invited their friends in.

We packed up and left Friday morning just for an overnighter.
The trailer with stuff in it
We went south past Blanding to a place called South Cottonwood. It has the coolest stream with sandstone waterfalls. I thought for sure there would be people there because of spring break, but we got it all to ourselves.
Whitney loved the sand, although she wasn't successful in making sand castles.
The hot and tired pregnant lady decided the water was too tempting, and before we knew it all the girls were wading. It was fun, and good for these poor desert Utah kids who don't get to play in the water much.
After the stream we drove up the mountain so Scott could show us some sites. This is an old mine transfer station.

We had tinfoil dinners
The moon was gorgeous and bright. The night was chilly and we were glad we had blankets. There is a heater but we ran out of batteries but it's ok. We will figure it out.
Some cool trees by the camp
It was good to get away for a bit, good to take the girls camping which has been hard since they were so little (and horrible sleepers) and Scott works so much, especially in the summer. But we are committed to doing it more often and doing little trips as much as we can. The little guy will have to be flexible and we hope he will sleep. Thankfully the girls are big enough that it seems doable. We are grateful we can have the opportunity to make good memories for our family camping like we both did growing up. We will get these girls toughened up and teach them the ways of the camp soon enough. In the morning Dad cooked "dirty hash browns" and we played some more, packed up and went home to shower off all the sand and do the laundry before Sunday.
