The East Coast Bunkers' First Popup Camping Trip





After going to our first RV show when I was first pregnant with Dagney, and much anticipation over the years, we finally purchased our first popup camper! It's a 2004 Viking Legend and has everything in it that we wanted (a slide-out, potty) and then some (a shower!).
We wanted to take it out after picking it up yesterday, so we headed to the Silver Valley Campground in nearby Pennsylvania. It was dark by the time we set it up, but the girls did have a little time to visit the new playground there. Eventually Paige and Dagney fell asleep, after lots of giggling in bed on their side of the camper. After Lillian fell asleep in her pack and play, Josh and I got to enjoy a few beers in front of a campfire and talk about all the places we'd like to visit in the coming summers. We're so excited to have finally reached this goal for our family.
Then Lilly decided she was missing out on something and kept Josh and I up from about 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Then it started to rain. A lot. We made the most of it, of course, but it was definitely not easy keeping all of the girls occupied inside!

Hot Dogs for Breakfast?

Oh Yeah!

yummy!

Good Morning From Pennsylvania



Here Dagney relaxes in the camper with some warm milk as we listen to the pitter patter of rain. It was a long night for mommy and daddy since Lillian decided she wanted to stay up late and watch the campfire smolder out. Thankfully mommy packed coffee and all the trimmings.

Dagney's First Soccer Practice




Last night Dagney got to meet her Coach and teammates at her first-ever soccer practice. It was the tail end of a long day for her since she also has preschool on Thursday mornings, but she hung in there like a champ. Daddy, Paige and I were very proud of her and we had a great time watching her "drive her car (ball) on the highway," "sit on her dinosaur egg" and get the "egg into the nest."
