Rounds Camping 2013

For our Rounds camping this year we decided to go up to Monte Cristo. This was our first real time pulling the tent trailer with our van. We have wanted to numerous times but we had issues with our wires and such, which resulted in someone else pulling it for us. This time we pulled it ourselves and we are proud to say the van did great!
 Steven and I got to Monte last Thursday night while others got there earlier in the day (we had to work). Dan and Casandra (Steven's sis) got there Fri evening. And then left Monday morning/afternoon.
 This camping trip was such a good time. We reserved the group camp site which had tons and tons of tables and plenty of space to put tents, or cars, or trailers.. the kids got to wonder around and explore and we also had plenty of room to play catch, horse shoes, bolo or anything else we wanted. Most days consisted of sitting around back and forth from the sun to the shade, talking, taking care of all the kids, eating, eating some more, and more eating. The evenings were more where we played games, sat around the fire, and ate more junk food. There was also this awesome little "House" that someone carved out of a stump. This was pretty much the coolest thing for the kids, they were entertained for days!
 The first night we got to watch a lightning storm from the next mountain over, and it was really awesome! And you cant forget about my kids having some potty issues.. they each pooped AT LEAST 6 times each day, which for us, is extremely crazy! So we were constantly changing diapers and underwear and had one diaper left on the way home. Oh.. and we cant forget that Steven and I may have forgotten our trailer key so in the dark the whole gang helped us pull the door out with pliers and muscles. Haha.. the one thing we forgot. Smart stuff there!
 But, it was such a fun trip.. It was very relaxing, the kids for the most part entertained themselves and absolutely LOVED not only being in the dirt but playing with the cousins. Our tent trailer was great as always, and it is always nice to spend time with the family.
 Our last night there we saw a huge Moose! It was pretty awesome! It basically walked around the outside of our campground and ran up the hill. We also saw a deer and had many friendly birds and squirrels who wondered around our campsite most the days.
