Goodbye, old friend

A few years ago, we bought this beauty from my friend's parents. It was a 1979, but it was in REALLY good shape. We had a lot of fun camping in it and having Family Home Evenings in it. Last year, Nathan was concerned about what the trailer was doing to our truck. He was worried that it was too heavy. The truck started making interesting noises. So, we decided that it was more important for us to have a working truck than to have a camp trailer. We tried to sell it last year, but no one was buying anything. He put it in Craigslist this spring and had a guy come look at it. He was interested and after much discussion, took it in trade for . . .A motor boat and a Wii. How fun is that? My kids were in love with the boat right from the start. They were so mad that we wouldn't take them out in it right when we got it (at 8:30 on a Saturday night) and that we wouldn't let them ride home in it. We have yet to get it in the water, but we're excited!! It supposedly has a fish finder. Now maybe we can do some catching instead of just fishing.

The Wii took some more coaxing. Once the kids realized what it was and what they could do with it, they loved it. We also got the Wii Fit with it. Nathan has used it a few times and says it's a sarcastic little machine. I'm excited to finish my recovery and get started.

We're loving our new toys!!
