Labor Day Weekend Recap

Whew! It’s Tuesday! Love 4 day weekends don’t you? Alot of 1st this weekend for our little family.  It was my first time trailer camping! Which also means it was our first time camping together in a trailer with the dogs!

Harley’s first time for everything camping which went over rather smoothly until we started the fire.  Apparently he doesn’t do fires or smoke so we’ll have to get him used to that.

Onward to the photos right?!

Harley and Me on our way to Loon Lake. 

(I made my honey a cover for the middle seat in his truck since Harley likes to sit there during car rides now he won’t scratch it up, I was pretty proud of myself the way it turned out)

He doesn’t look so excited here but I promise you he is.  Before we left he would hop into the trailer and then would come inside and PACE back and forth because he was so anxious to go and not get left behind.

We’ve ARRIVED! We set everything up and put twinkle lights up, we were going for the super white trash look, so we threw in some random colored light bulbs!  I have the biggest pet peeve over color lights but while camping they are okay.

It was a rather awesome set up if you ask me.  My honey has been working out of town so he brought back this YUMMY marinated chicken from a spanish grocery store so we made burritos! The joys of trailer camping already becoming apparent!

Me and my little guy in the trailer! It’s a 19 ft. trailer and it worked pretty well for the four of us.  Although when Drake is panting or just breathing in general the trailer shakes.  Which made it rather hard to play Jenga at times.

CHEEEEESEE! He was loving the whole experience!

Dinner time! YUMMY burritos!  But too bad I forgot my bottle of booze so all I had was a bottle of champagne and nothing else.  Needless to say I finished the bottle within a day.

Perfect caption for this would be, “We’re eating in the wilderness! We’re eating in the wilderness!!”.

We recently stopped adding in wet food to Drake’s food and he was on a protest at home but out in the wild he wouldn’t stop eating.  Strange boy he is he, then Harley was the exact opposite he didn’t want to eat.  Probably too excited!

Harley: “I stand for chicken”

” Hi, my name is Jenn and I take timer photos of myself!”

We did some target practice with the BB gun

We’re going for a car ride! Yipee! They are too adorable in this photo such happy puppies!

laborday2010 036

There was a big clearing where a BUNCH of trailers were, we should have camped there!

laborday2010 051

We of course did some fishing.. Which resulted in TONS OF SNAGS! I’m going on protest that fish either A) Don’t want to be my dinner or B) Don’t like my worms or singing that I entice them with.

So instead of fish being our dinner we had yummy turkey burgers!

laborday2010 062

Rather delicious don’t ya say? Yummy!  And of course I’m rocking my LOL Designs headbands!

laborday2010 063 

Yes sweet success! I wait look cute and maybe I’ll get food.

laborday2010 064 laborday2010 065

That was pretty much Harley’s post most of the trip waiting for treats and a possible scrap food which we don’t usually do but he’s too cute not to give some.  Especially when he’s sitting at the table!

laborday2010 071

That was the trip! Pretty easy going weekend which I much needed! And of course seeing how Harley would like his first trip camping!

laborday2010 075

Pretty sure he liked it by the way he is smiling he was exhausted as was Drake.

Sssshh… Sleepy puppies on board.

Can we also all be excited for posting with Live Writer? I know you love it and me now.. This was such an easy task to post these photos! :)

The honey’s birthday is Sunday! I need ideas on what to get him.. I’m thinking about possibly getting his truck nerf bars since I have to get a running start to get in.  Or gift certificates to golfing places or just a nice dinner at home.. 

Any suggestions?

 Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!
