We have been planning on taking a family camping trip over the 4th of July for the past couple of months. SOOOO looking forward to getting out of the 116 degree temps that have hit AZ. We love going up North about 20 miles outside of Payson AZ. It's only about a 90 min drive. Long story short our Motor Home (the HOG) wasn't wanting to run very well. We went to pick it up out of storage on Wednesday night and ir didn't make it home. Luckily Nick made it to an Auto Zone. Over the next 2 days we found out that it needed a new alternator and fuel pump. YUCK!!!!!! It wasn't finished until later Friday night so we didn't end up leaving until Saturday Morning. Which was going to make out camping trip a total of about 35 hours because Nick had to work Monday Morning. But let me tell you it was soooo worth it. It was in the mid 80's and love 50's at night. It was so beautiful and a perfect little break from this horrible heat. We went on a couple of awesome hikes and Chase LOVES the motor home and camping. It was so peaceful and perfect to spend time together as a family. Nick has been very busy with work. He worked over 65 hours that week leaded up to this trip. So we loved having his time and attention :) Despite all the $, problems, and Headaches that the HOG gives us it was a ton of fun. I forgot our camera on the hikes but at least I got a couple of pictures :)
