It wouldn't be summer without the annual Prescott camping trip at Crescent Lake!
Pros: I wasn't nine months pregnant and we had our 'Love Trailer'
Cons: It rained and Easton got pink eye
Cody is a sprinter. I enjoy long, slow jogs. Cody watches movies. I read books. Cody asks for a back scratch. I ask for back tickles.
We were searching for a new hobby that we both enjoy doing-together. Introducing our Love Trailer! The phrase, 'great things come in small packages' does, in fact, pertain to this cozy two-wheeled beauty.
After pulling this gem out of the briers, Team Prescott (Cody and I) gut her out and pressure washed off the moss, (surprise, it's white!). My gifted and creative husband applied his carpentry skills and built the interior storage compartments, put in a structural frame for the fiberglass top that had caved in, and in-placed a system to interchange a table for a queen-size bed, all of which can fit in the storage. During this time, I painted the interior and sewed custom curtains and cushion covers. We topped her off with new windows, tires, brake lights, and hitch.
Vuwahla! I present to you, the 2014, top of the line, new and improved, oh so luxurious: Love Trailer.
Pretty self-explanatory, the first day was awesomely sunny and everyone played it up.
Everyday past the first, it was cold and wet. We however, made the best of the unfortunately soggy situation. That is, from the inside of Jessica's much larger and heated trailer.

Pro #2 The Sunny First Day!

Con #1 The Rain Comes
Everyday past the first, it was cold and wet. We however, made the best of the unfortunately soggy situation. That is, from the inside of Jessica's much larger and heated trailer.
Con #2 Easton's Pinkeye
Not long into our stay, my beautiful baby boy came down with what we assume was the viral form of pinkeye. Poor guy had it rough.
*Note: I had read that breast milk has antibiotic properties. Since there were few doctors out in the boonies, I went ahead and applied (squirted) breast milk to his swollen eyes. It did in fact work!
To end on a good note, I leave you with
