X2 on the family pics. Seems like only yesterday my clan looked about like that. Alas, it was more than a few yesterdays. ENJOY them now in the moment, it all changes everyday.

I agree...... your camping photos are the absolute definition of wealth !!! Wife and I had some problems making babies and only had one, starting kinda late compared to most. Glad we could start him camping at 1 yr old. Camping sure is a great break from reality, enjoy every minute of it my friend !! Good times....

She's a cutie, glad it turned out as well as it did for you guys. You and you're family are still in my prayers, but I am jealous since you get to go camping with your clan (I can't even get enough time off to keep the bloody grass cut). Congrats on the whole package!!!!!

Breaking camp and packing up after a fun but wet week at Otter Lake in Marshall's Creek PA.



We were with a group of 3 campers and 16 people, my wife and I had our son and four other 18 year old boys in our rig.

Didn't get ant pictures of the Ex but we just got back from a weekend at Stone Mtn State Park in NC, weather was cool and had a thunderstorm both afternoons. Hiked to the summit and then down and swam in waterfalls. This was our first rip to the mountains pulling the camper, the Ex did great.

Last night sitting by the fire before heading back to work Tuesday. We are blessed to have 10 campgrounds within 20 miles of home so we have taken a few long weekends to get the little ones out of the house. Friday evening we got in after the rain, rained from 1am to 3pm Saturday and has been great since. Not ready to head home in the am but everything is packed but the bicycles so it'll be a quick dump, hook and go.

It's rained here every day for 2 weeks here. At least we haven't missed to much work, but ready for some sunshine for a few days.

Come down here and bring the rain, supposed to be 100 degrees tomorrow and Monday. No rain in my area but we had some good thunderstorms in the mountains.

We got both rain and heat here, luckily rains been overnight but supposed to be 99° tomorrow.
Returned Sunday from camping in wildwood nj, seashore campground was very very nice but like all of them near the beach here they pack you in tightly.
Heading back this weekend to for beach blast soccer

Just pulled in from 8 days of fun. It took a whole day (24 hours) for the fridge to start getting cold after being switched to "gas". Does the coolant (ammonia I read) ever leak out? I can't see how it could really. Can it be refilled?
