Our First Campground Experience


"Complete with bathrooms, showers, hiking trails, basketball courts, dodge ball..." Sounds pretty great on paper right??? Well, check out how "happy" our Happy Acres experience really was!


Last night we pulled into Happy Acres campground to stay the night in Indiana. Our handy dandy campground directory gave us an awesome description and a high rating of the campsite, so we anticipated a fun filled evening as we arrived!


Here's a pic of the joyful acreage:)






The basketball courts were completely covered w/ picnic tables, boards, and random junk... Sorry boys! No b-ball tonight :'(



Since the grounds were beaming with such happiness and bliss, we decided to go on a hike... :)


We ended up walking a mile and 1/2 down to the Subway for dinner...yummm:) The whole way, we signaled over 100 truck drivers to blow their horns. We had a few horn blowers, but most of them were grumps and thought we were crazy!








jdjdjdjdjd"Subway eat fresh!"


On our way back, the rain began to downpour on us! We tried to run but most of us got side cramps from eating too much...Justin said he had 3 side stitches! haha! I was so proud of JJ and Justin for keeping up with all of us! They really ran their best! By the time we finally got back to the RV, we were drenched from head to toe! On top of that, none of us could take showers because the bathrooms were all locked up and out of service!! That night, all of us were dying laughing at our conclusions of "why happy acres is so happy". Jord said it was because all the mad people were someplace else, but I think it was because all the best bros, sis and parents were right there laughing with me, making a memory of a life time! jgjgjgjgjgjgdjdjd All the guys soaked but still smiling!

nsdjfjfGoodbye Happy Acres!!! :) We really did end up having a great time!

:) I'm glad you were still able to have fun despite the odd conditions at the campground...lol...:) That's one of our favorite things to do on roadtrips.....to get trucks to honk for us. But usually we are in the car and not walking along side the interstate (on a hiking trail:) when we do it! Miss you all!!

Kaits
