Look who's going camping!!!!

Did someone say Smores????
Most of you will remember our first Camping trip back in September...you know, the one that we loved so much that they had to kick us out of the campground and pry us off of the RV seats that we had rented for a week....yeah, that's it....the one that prompted us to go in search of a camper for our family. After looking for months we realized that to get one big enough to grow into, we would also have to get a different truck to haul it with....of course this was a pleasant problem for my husband...what man doesn't like to pick out a more manly truck right? At least my city slicker with a country boy just dying to get out husband does! So we found what our insanely obsessed with all things HOCKEY children affectionately dubbed "The Zamboni"...


The Zamboni was a lonely thing for months and months with no camper to call it's own....after months and months of listening to our kids nag "when are we getting a camper?!?!" looking and comparison shopping, we stumbled upon the "perfect" one for us...price and all! And it ended up being a lot newer than we thought we'd be able to afford...it's a 2007! So without further ado.....drum roll please....I would like to introduce you to the place countless memories and immeasurable laughter will fill our new Home Away from Home....

Here's Aidan the day we bought it at the lot....

Adam taking a walk thru (with the sales guy) ...maybe that snazzy green tie is how we got such a deal!... :-)

Amazing kitchen space for a camper...I'm pumped about all that cabinet/counter space!

Adam is most certainly my new hero for getting this monstrosity backed into our house without taking out a tree or our mailbox...you rock baby!

We already have dates booked at our favorite campground the end of March and for my birthday in April....and hope to go at least once a month as long as the weather is nice...
Look out marshmallows, Hershey bars, and graham crackers world...here comes McManus Party of Five!!!

    What a BLAST! We had one a few years ago, but when the gas prices soared, we decided to sell. You'll have so much fun! The definition of "camping" will be forever changed, and it will become your favorite way to vacation. It's beautiful.... CONGRATULATIONS!!
