Oh and one more thing...

We went camping last weekend (= The Zentil circus tent was brought out of retirement for the weekend...and everytime NZ pulls it out, I get a little bit embarassed...I try to warn people, it looks like an actual circus tent. Friends usually laugh, thinking I must be joking...

But as you can see, I am not.
Not, one bit.

After my initial embarassment wears off, I usually come around and marvel at how fricken cool this tent is. It has been around longer than either myself or my hubby..It's an original VW Westfalia tent resulting from my father in law's love affair with the VW van...I beleive this tent is from his first of three VW vans owned in his lifetime...

..Tent was made in.....
drumroll please....

.......
Feb. 1970. It says so inside.

And even more amazing..It's all original..All of the zippers but one still work, and I'm not sure how many people can claim a tent with YEARS ( literally, YEARS) of camping stories within it's walls.

So, yeah, at first, you might make fun of it, but admit it..You're a little bit jealous.


Back to camping...we had tons of fun, drank way too many beers, played lots of Beer pong and horseshoes, and overall feel pretty dang lucky to have spent time with great friends in great weather.



Being out on the water for a day, in a boat, and just soaking it all in, always makes me sit back and think about just how fortunate we are. Good friends and good times = a good life.
