Blogging with the Lincolns: Summer begins!

Yes, we got a pop-up. Go ahead, make fun, have your laughs, call us wimps, call us domesticated. We already have matching cruiser bikes, so this is the obvious next step in gentile camping. Now I have to practice backing up trailers. I will conquer! Nothing says "camping fun" Like a back-the-trailer-up for the first time screech match. My handsome Husband had his turn, now it is mine.

So of course our first trip was met with BUCKETS of rain. But hey! We got a pop-up, so we don't care!

Can't play Monopoly in a tent in the rain. But you can in a Pop-up! By the way, Mr. 1% over there totally creamed me, what with his utilities and railroads.Just look at his plotting, 1% face.

And because we didn't want our game infiltrated by the sticky fingers of the masses, we subjugated them with cartoons. OH YEAH! Cartoons and camping. Can't do that in a tent.

The face of a child who is usually totally deprived of shows. A bit scary, actually.

Our neglected garden...But if we just cut down a few more trees, we can make a huge mess and distract ourselves further from the planting process. But now we do have lots of nice sun in the garden zone.

And an awesome temporary gym/fort for kids and dog.

Personal packing lists, because we are going camping again...in the Pop-up!

We started the kids out on a 6 miler, up to a fire tower in Pawtuckaway State Park, huge boulders to scramble on.

Just because we are in the woods does not mean one should compromise one's fashion integrity. ;) M2

Dad & the kids. When things got tiresome for the kids, a lively game of "BAD GUY" kept their minds off the fact that we had been walking uphill for an hour.
