Camping Trip #1






The Family went on our first tent camping trip on Thurs. into Friday! Jim Thorpe would be the location. The weather was calling for possible showers or thunderstorms, when we arrived in town it startrd to rain within minutes. We proceeded to kill time and wait for the rain to subside. After eating dinner at Hotel Switzerland it was time for a decision! Stay or Go! As we stood in the ceter of towm and looked up at the sky I was leaning toward coming home and Becki was thinking lets stay! I knew their was a reason she is a great wife. She can predict the weather! We drove the few miles up to Mauch Chunk Lake and set up camp.
The weather got much better, the tent set up went well, and we even got a camp ground with a view of the lake. The only thing left to do was set up the FIRE and hope I could get it started. As you will see in the pictures it did start and the kids loved it. Overall, a great family first camping trip! More to come on the activities we did in Jim Thorpe!
