It wasn’t the most beautiful day, and there was WAY too much wind, but we got out and played. Was up on the wakeboard and back down again. All in all we had a ton of fun. Happy birthday America!!!

So much for camping this weekend. It’s supposed to rain, and it looks rather ominous outside. We’re still going to hit the water, but instead of beaching and staying there, we’ll trailer it home. No biggie! Time to practice with the wakeboard…

We setup the pop-up last night, and while it’s not the latest and greatest, I think it’ll sure beat sleeping on the ground. We’ve got some broken zippers, a couple of tears, and that mildew smell, but all in all it’s not too bad. Tonight I plan on sewing the zippers together, and getting it closer to ready for use. This is a stepping stone. I hope to one day have either a 5th wheel RV or 5th wheel toy hauler for the Jeep. Until then, we’re happy with what we’ve got.

We’re getting to the point that we are in need of a vehicle that can fit the family and tow our ever growing collection of toys. This morning we saw an add for 2010 Dodge’s that sparked our interest. If this is something we go for, I’ll only want to look at a 3/4 or 1 ton 4×4 diesel. Nothing else will do since it’ll be a permanent fixture for our family. I’m a ford man, but the deal may be too good to pass up. We’ll see!

Check it out. With a little help from the web and some artistic attempts I’ve come up with this and I like it so far. Whatcha think?
