Hmmm.... what could this be for? Is it possible that we made a recent purchase of something awesome for our family?

Yep!!! We bought a pop-up camper! We here at Chez Keowdie love to camp.

But... in the last couple of years, some of the camping has been a little less fun. Camping in a tent is difficult with 2 young boys. Sleeping on the ground is difficult with a thirty-something-year-old body. Sleeping in a tent when the temperatures are chilly (like, 30's) at night is difficult when you're not an Eskimo.

So, after a little cranking, chocking and popping...

We figured it out, popped it up, and started making a list of everything that needs to be moved into/purchased for our new home away from home.
Here's another picture of the interior:

Riley couldn't wait to explore.
We have to get license plates for it before we can take her out on her maiden voyage. I definitely forsee some more camping trips in our future!!!
