Our maiden camper voyage – part 1

This weekend my family and I took our new camping trailer out for a weekend shakedown trip.  Despite heavy rain the first night, the trip was a great success.  Here are a few random and fun shots taken this weekend.  More pictures of the campsite, and of the birds of the area, will be coming soon.  But here is part 1:

 

Our campsite, including our new Rainier, the screenhouse, and our cute little camper in the back

 

Watch out!  our site was surrounded by the little gem.  The official herb of Bay City State Recreation area – Poison Ivy!

What camping trip is complete without a campfire.  And yes, the s’mores were yummy!

 

Camping is hard work, even for a terrier.  Shelby has turned out to be the ideal camping dog – small, portable, never barked, and did not even take up too much room in bed with us.

I don’t know what this is exactly, but I just had to include this tree.  It would appear that this tree has a problem.  It is a cheeky thing, isn’t it.  I am sure this tree is the butt of many jokes.  Ok, I will stop now

And finally, the moon rises over our campsite on our second, and last night.
