For those that haven't heard, we have sold our beloved camper.
We have had this camper for the past 4 summers at a campground 45 minutes from town. Before kids, we decided it would be fun to buy a boat and get a camper on a lake. We didn't want a camper that we had to haul from place to place but instead a place where we could retreat too on the weekends to enjoy the sunny weather, hang out on the boat, and get some well needed R&R. We've have so many great memories of our time there but it was time. The camper was old, the owners of the campground didn't seem to put as much love into the place, and we wanted more amenities. Call us crazy but we thought having sewer and being able to run the AC would be nice.
Our hopes is to take this summer to explore other lakes and campgrounds and buy a new camper the following summer. Both girls will be old enough to really enjoy it and we hope to find a place that better fits us. Until then, we plan to enjoy our summer at home where we can enjoy the fun things around town, spend more time with friends and neighbors, and keep up with the house.
While I write this it seems incredibly doable but I'm sad and it will be tougher than I think especially when the warm weather finally hits. Maya has been asking to go to the lake, my nephew Andrew thinks we should have consultant with him first, and it is unrealistic to think we will be able to jet off on a Saturday or Sunday with two kids and the boat. I am going to try to remain positive that our summer will be fantastic and we will be able to spend time at the lake on the boat even with two small kids. I am going to remain positive that we will enjoy our time at home and in town by hitting up the local swimming pool, going biking, and BBQ in our own back yard.
We will have a great summer.
I was looking back on some old photos and came across this funny picture of Maya from last September at the camper. She wanted to wear her hair loose and didn't want me to comb it. So funny to look at it almost a year later.
another picture of Maya - you have to love this smile. She loved the lake. 
So long dear friend...take care of yourself and be good to your new owners. Thank you for all the fond memories.
