Big thank you to everyone who made it out, the boys really loved the interaction with other kids and Jamie and I enjoyed the lively conversation as always

Looking forward to the next GTG, wherever that may be. If you guys ever want to do it again out there just say when and we'll make it happen!

Sounds good, perhaps I can get more family members involved next time. Nice little place you have down there, I am sorry I didn't get a chance to tour the camper.

I was actually pretty impressed at the inside of the camper-- leather seating and really really nice.

Hope the rest of your crew can tag along next time, I know it can be hard has kids get older and have their own activities to keep them busy. Sorry I didn't give you the tour, I remembered right after you left though if that counts for anything! lol

Thanks Chad, the seats are really comfy and we feel right at home there on the weekends

The camping is a great bonding time for the kiddos as well.

I know when we had our camper the girls really enjoyed their time in it, and have fond memories of the camper, and the activities that went along with it.

Camping is dangerous. It imprints you and pretty soon you will be living in a camper all summer or maybe year around. Like I said it is dangerous and leaves a terrible scar on your kids soul. They become ruined for regular stuff.

Yep, I am an example of that, my parents had a camper that I have very fond memories of, and that has always driven me to want a camper again. (the wife doesn't mind camping, but she doesn't like the loading and unloading involved)

Yeah, we kind of had that, with our last camper, but the laundry, food, grill, toys, books, lawn chairs, took a while to organize and load.

We basically bring clothes and coolers\food, other than that we have everything already at the lake or stays in the back of the Denali. Unfortunately it still takes us several hours to get that stuff rounded up, loaded, then put back away when we get home.

Yeah, we used to park the camper beside the house, and it still took two or three evenings before to pack it, hook it up, and we had to leave early on Sunday to get home, unpack, unhook, and then we were just worn out.

Curtis, it sounds like you have a wife and daughters when it comes to packing a camper.

You got that right!!

We would pack the camper drawers, closets, cabinets, fridge, then go back and fill the floor with coolers, toys, more junk then we would ever use.
