First Celebration










This was my first Celebration. What a TRIP!! Mommy had this great idea that instead of staying in the house at Cedarhill if we bought a RV, parked it in the yard, stayed in it we would have more room and everyone would be much more comfortable. Mommy bought a camper (NOTE-->not an RV--there is a BIG difference) sight unseen from Mr. Tim Brooks. This idea would have probably been a good idea if the "camper" had been just a little bit bigger and we hadn't been planning to stay in this camper for 12 days and 14 nights. The camper was only big enough to have a double bed, a packnplay and our clothes in it. Mommy's shoes were actually in the stove and under the kitchenette sink. My clothes were in the kitchette cabinets. There was only enough room in the camper for one of us to stand up at the time. You had to stand sideways to get into the bathroom and then once you got in the bathroom you had to be careful as the floor was weak and about to fall through. Everytime someone sat on the potty they had to wonder if they are going to fall through this time. The shower was the size of a small metal wash tub and the waterpressure left so much to be desired. Oh, and did I mention that Mommy brought Babbs with us too? The absolute best part of the whole camping experience was that if the air conditioner in this camper runs for longer than three hours, it will freeze up. To maintain the AC unit, one must get a hairdryer out and blow warm air into the unit until it unfreezes. If you don't do this, it gets VERY hot in the camper. Usually, this all takes place in the middle of the night. What a joy! Dadaddy Mac did get out his cattle troph (his pool) and fill it with water. We got in and I love to swim. That was my favorite part of the entire trip. My Daddy is looking for a Holiday Inn and he says that we will NEVER camp again. My Mommy says "you have to do things you don't enjoy so that you can appreciate the things you do enjoy more". Basically Daddy says "Mommy just doesn't want to admit she was wrong about camping for 12 days being a good idea." What a Celebration!
