CAMPING FUN




We had a great time camping. Memories we will have forever. The weather was drizzly and gray, windy and cold. Because of the weather...Allison didn't get to hang out outside and participate in the camping experience as much as we would have liked and she would have liked. Because of this it was neat we could do something that was just about her. As you see in the video we found a place that has these great beach wheel chairs for FREE! She has begun to tolerate being off of the suction for periods of time now.

For 30-45 minutes we RAN behind her pushing the chair over all the bumps and hills we could find (Jeff did most of it). If we stopped...she gave us a good holler. Keala either ran behind, rode on her lap or dug in the sand. We had a hoot of a time.


We also took walks around the campground, played dress up, had campfires, grilled steaks, broke into the trailer, listened to music, chased Keala, blew bubbles, oh yeah I did say break into the trailer.













Keala locked Allison in the trailer. We were so freaked out. Do we call the police, break a window, pull the door of the hinges? There were various options, none of which we were comfortable with...BECAUSE WE HAD BORROWED THE TRAILER! Some very nice friends had lent us the trailer and we didn't want to break it. The moral of this=always keep a spare. The end of this for us is...we broke in and will pay for the cost of fixing the lock, everyone was fine and hopefully they let us use it again.
