Back to Camping!

We got Willie back from the dealer on Thursday after we finally got the cable on the slide replaced!  They did a good job, but the warranty company wouldn't pay for it.  They claim it wasn't a defective cable, but an alignment problem.  We argued that who knows how or when it got out of alignment, but it did.  So, the slide needed repaired.  They wouldn't budge on their ruling and we were rather frustrated, but life goes on!!!!!

Monday and Tuesday were rather hectic this week getting ready to leave for our 1st camping trip of the season.  Since it was rather cold when we got back from Florida, we took everything out of Willie and winterized.  So, everything had to go back in!!!  Really takes some time and thinking to make certain you have everything you need. 

Also, on Monday evening my sister, her husband, Ken and I took my parents out for dinner - it was my father's 89th birthday!  What a milestone!  We were happy he was able to go because just 6 days before, he tipped his electric wheel chair and he flew off.  Fortunately no broken bones but lots of brush burns, open places on his face where he scrapped along the macadem, and a hand and arm that are totally purple.  He said nothing really hurt, it was just sore!  What a trooper!

This morning we left our home and headed to French Creek State Park, only about an hour down the road!  It is a lovely area with a small lake for kayaking and some rails to trails nearby for great bike riding.  The 3 other couples we camp with in the summer will be joining us tomorrow for a long weekend.  Tonight our daughter, her husband, and 2 little ones will come here for hot dogs over the fire and then some yummy s'mores!  The 2 and 4 year old are looking forward to a kayak ride, even though the water will be freezing!

Feels so good to be back in Willie and camping again.  Hard to imagine how large and spacious it feels now that we can open the slide!  Makes quite a difference!  Looking to a fun-filled weekend with our friends - lots of games, hiking, bike riding, and of course, eating!

Beautiful day to sit outside and do a post!
