Seminoe Reservoir, Labor Day Weekend 2012
We joined the Silver's and
their families in Seminoe, WY for Labor Day Weekend. We had a great time
boating and camping. The weather was great aside from one storm that
stuck us in the Silvers' 5th wheel for some drinking games. Best day
included a white sand beach and some baseball!!

Estes Park, August 18, 2012
We asked Jason and Carrie to accompany us on our first weekend in the 5th wheel. Carrie found a place in Estes on short notice. As we arrived, we all did a double take as we realized we were vacationing in a dirt parking lot. We made the best of it and got settled into our spot, grabbed some beers in a small cooler and headed to the "heated" pool. We dipped our toes and realized that the pool was heated only by the sunshine and it was not THAT warm in the mountains of Estes Park. As the kids' lips turned purple and their teeth began to chatter, we decided to head to the free putt-putt course, played some football, & visited the park. Carrie needed to put Blake down for a nap, so we walked the kids to the local bar/restaurant and had some pizza and beers. The boys enjoyed the game of washers available on the patio. On our way back to the camp spot we stopped for some horseshoes.
We had dinner in the 5th wheel and danced, played games and enjoyed the evening
with the kids. Austin and Rylee had vocal night in the 5th wheel. Rylee was up early, "The sun is up Auntie Amber!"
As we packed to head out, we were attempting to empty the black tank for the very first time. I was looking at the pipes under the 5th wheel with the manual in hand, an older gentleman walked by and noticed my perplexed look. He asked "Are you reading a manual?" I explained that this was our first trip in our new camper and I wanted to make sure we did this right. He explained that if we needed anything, anyone around us would be more than willing to help. It was that point in time that we realized we were part of a club now, a club of people that enjoy the outdoors. He continued to tell us about the cross-country trip in their motorhome chasing ball parks.
Before heading out on Sunday we stopped by the Estes Park Fun Center for some more putt-putt, slides, rides and lunch. It was a great way to break in the 5th wheel and an unforgettable trip with family!
