We bought a new trailer just in time for the May Long Weekend.
Literally.
Just. In. Time.
This is how it happened. We had been wanting to pick up our tent trailer all week and get it ready for our weekend away, but it kept raining so we didn't want to open it up and have the tent get all wet. When K finally picked up the tent trailer to open it up there were a few obvious problems with it that needed to be fixed. When K called the dealership to see about having it repaired they let him bring it in right away. So then, as he was at the dealership having the old trailer repaired, he started looking at new ones.
This was when he concocted his "maybe we should just get a new trailer" theory. So by the time I had arrived at home that evening {and found the nice new trailer brochures all over the kitchen table} K had it all figured out. I wasn't that hard to convince...he had me at the "it has a bathroom" part. And so next day, when I was supposed to be packing for the weekend and picking the kids up early from school, we spent the day at the trailer dealership buying our new trailer. And then somehow still managed to race to the school to get the kiddies and make it to the Fitzroy Harbour camp ground before dark.
Just in time for it to start raining.
But the next day the sun was out and we discovered that a friend of ours and his boys were camping in the site right next to ours. So we spent the weekend camping with them and had a great time. And Lee Ann and her girls drove out to spend the day with us at the campground's beach...
Thankfully Lee Ann brought an extra swimsuit for Miss S because in all the rush to throw things in the new trailer and get going...swimsuits were one of the {many} things we forgot to pack.
