Another flat tire

Last weekend we took our fifth wheel up to redding while we were working on my husband's grandpa's rental house. There were a lot of people up there working on the house because he was in the hospital having fallen and hit his head really hard. He is over 90 years old. We figured the easiest thing to do was to take our trailer up for us to stay in, then we would also have a good clean kitchen, working refrigerator, etc. It worked out great! We would tow the trailer between the rental and his grandpa's house each day. It was only about fifteen minutes away so it wasn't too bad, just leave it connected to the truck all the time, you know. Anyway, the second night up there, after we got parked at Grandpa's house my husband noticed we had a flat tire on the trailer. It was the same side and same tire as the last time in July!!!! Luckily we were able to get AAA out there and they changed the tire for us. That was the last thing we wanted to deal with at the end of a very long day, by the time it was taken care of it was after 9 p.m.! The kids and I just wanted showers and to go to bed. We finally got our wish sometime before ten. This seems a little early to go to bed I know but we had spent the entire day filling a 30 yard roll-off with junk that had been left around the property and in the house, as well as trying to get the inside of the house ready for paint. I guess this just proves that sometimes camping isn't always relaxing, but it sure was nice to have the trailer there with us. Here's hoping that we don't get another flat on our next time out! I started a blog of photos that my kids have taken! Check it out at http://ryanandjamesphotos.blogspot.com ! Summer is coming and with it is a great time for camping. Get out there and have fun, then let me know where you've been! I would love to hear about your camping experience!
