Fall in Shenango

This year we were in PA long enough to see some beautiful foliage. I took pictures of my favorite trees and also of the views down at the river. Enjoy…

60’s Weekend

Campgrounds, Family Fun, Pennsylvania No Comments

My mom requested that I post a picture for her friends of the family dressed up for 60’s weekend. My mom, Samantha, and I were all in matching dresses. I found a t-shirt for Timmy and only recently realized that the reason it is so big is that it is an adults shirt. Joshua is in tie-dye as well but his is because I acidently put his pants in bleach.

Campground Fun

I had to take a picture of two of our fellow campers during the July 4th golf cart parade….

One of the new events for this year at the campground was a RC boat race at the pool. Nathan helped set the course up and the kids had to steer their boats around balloon fishes in the pool. Here is Timmy getting ready for his race…

Here is Timmy driving his boat…

Here is Josh and Timmy while Josh was driving. I wish my camera skills were quicker because Josh had actually drove his boat through one of the fishes while he was driving…

Shenango Deck

Campgrounds, Pennsylvania, RV Life No Comments

Once we arrived in Pennsylvania this year we decided to add a planter to our deck. It has been mostly fun but the flowers we chose only looked good when they were blooming which wasn’t very much of the summer. Here is Joshua and our neighbor Emma helping to clean up the planter before Nathan built a walkway…

Here is a picture of the front of the deck. The two bushes on the ends are blueberry bushes, the dead one in the middle is also a blueberry that I am hoping will come back next year. The ground cover is ever bearing strawberries…

I did get a few blueberries from each of my plants this year so I am really looking forward to seeing how many I get next year. Here is a close up of one of our strawberries that are out right now…

Here is a picture of the side of the deck. We planted perrenial flowers that I am going to dig up soon, blackberries, and raspberries….

A close up of one of the blackberry plants…

We had one raspberry plant that produced this year but now looks like it is dead… hmmm… hoping it will come back up next year since the berries were delicious. Here is one of the raspberry plants that is growing like a weed but hasn’t given us a berry yet….

My mom also gave Nathan a new fire ring for his birthday so here is a picture of the new fire ring…

Nathan has the cooking plate over the fire because we buy amazing fresh corn and he boils pots outside so he can fit more at a time.

Toronto

Campgrounds, Canada No Comments

After Michigan we drove into Toronto for a day so Nathan could do some work. We started out checking into a “resort” named Cedar Creek RV Resort that we had to pay in full for when we made reservations (non refundable). The first site they gave us we couldn’t even get into. They let us choose the next site and when we finally got parked we realized it was 30 amp and had no sewer. Good news is that we were able to use the oven and have an A/C on without popping the electric. However, we decided the “resort” was SO awful that we would rather be at a Walmart so after cooking dinner we unhooked and drove through their NARROW streets scratching the sides of the RV and went to a Walmart for the night. Needless to say I spent way too much money at the Walmart because they have different buyers for Canadian Walmarts and they had so many cute outfits for the kids that I have never seen in an American Walmart! :)

The next day we drove back into America at Niagara Falls and headed back to Shenango for the Halloween weekend….
