The kids enjoyed riding their bikes and scooters yesterday and also swinging on the tree swing!
Later in the day, after Macy got home from school and after we ate, she and Chris went to the camping store and came home with a receipt for a down payment on a pop up camper!! Did I just say that? Me, buying a camper? Nah, we had a good camping experience when we went to NY back in August, much better than our local camping experiences, so it'll be fun! Being up off the ground will be excellent! Less chance of critters biting at my toes! LOL We went to an RV show at our local expo center last weekend and enjoyed looking at pop ups up to the $300,000 home on wheels! We decided we wanted to buy used (no chance for engine problems with these!), since this is our first, not to mention it would save a few pennies! We searched around and found a local dealer listing on Craigslist. We went and looked at it on Sunday and it's in great shape!! Chris and I thought about it and decided to go for it!! The dealer is at a big RV show this week, so when they get back next, we'll go and pay it off and get our lesson on how to use it! I'm excited, already planning a trip to Maine with stops in the other New England states on the way! We're also going to try to do a weekend every month! Should be really fun, camping is such a great family bonding experience!
I'll leave you with two layouts. I did these for the ScrapGal March newsletter. The theme this month is "inherit".
Thanks for reading!! Have a great day!!

Great layouts!
I love looking at your pages, Rachael! I'm not the camping type, but a pop-up would be lots better than on the ground!
omg a camper!
when i little that was my "when i grow up dream car!" LOL
i used to think it can be used as an everyday car...lol
congrats on it!...you;re going to have so many wonderful experiences with it:)
That will be so much fun Rachael! I love camping...but prefer to go to our cabin so I am not sleeping on the ground. I would love to have one of those campers so I could go more places in Montana!
Those photos of your kiddos are great! I wish we were getting more spring weather....we just got a bunch of snow last night!
Hope you have an awesome day!

It's is great to be outside !Funny how we still need to bundle up in the Spring! I just blogged about the warmer weather & a train ride and we are in coats & hats... funny to my friends & family in AL
If the wind is blowing it is chilly enough to bundle up! Great pics & LOs
First, the work is GORGEOUS as usual! Second, where did spring go??? It was here a minute ago!!!!! Man! Third, the pix are fab! Again, you take such great photos! I gotta get me a camera! Hey, wanna buy me one for my b-day? Its in 15 days by the way.
Love the layouts, Rachael. Oh, I am so jealous of the spring weather. When I saw that picture of Jack on the swing it brought back such great memories from when I was a kid (I had a swing just likc that and loved to spin myself silly). Very exciting about the camper purchase. Several of my friends have them and they sound great but alas, DH must have had horrible camping experiences as a child because even mentioning the word causes the subject to change so fast you could get whiplash. Congrats on the MM layouts (although with your talent, I'm never surprised). {{{HUGS}}}
Great Layouts Rachael! Love these pictures of your children!
Gorgeous photos and layout!! Love it:-D
Gorgeous pics! We are still under 5 feet of snow lol!
Congrats on your pop up trailer! You're so lucky!
