Bensing Blessings and Growth

Now What: Bensing family Adventure

As many of you know we have decided to take temporary residence in a Camper Trailer. Anyone needing to learn thankfullness and humility: this is the way to do it.  You see we bought a 1980 Terry Travler.. So yes its ugly and old.. I can't really complain about the shape it is in... It is pretty decent for its age. It just needs some...... fine tuning. But it has A/C (woohoo), a working, sink, toilet, and stove..  It seems everday something needs repairing..  But the campground has a pool opening soon, a fishing pond, and big grassy areas to run and explore.
So we have decided to make it as much of an adventure as possible.. But the camper has been taking care of that for us from all of the facets leaking (not such a hard fix), to the refrigerator falling on me and giving me a black eye (yes easy fix but very frustrating and kinda painful) to the camper sinking in to the ground about half a foot due to the 3 glorious days of rain! Its been very interesting.
But we still have managed to have fun.. There is a play ground with a basketball court and balls, horseshoes and tether ball. So everytime we do Laundry (which is often)  we challenge each other to games.. At night on our way to the showers we catch frogs, and compare the differences. Yesterday we made fishing poles and went fishing.. Jess didn't want a hook so we just tied a worm to the end of her line and wouldn't you know it..she is the only one who got a bite..Fish are getting smarter I guess.. Today we are learning about amphibians in our creation science..So we went and looked at tadpoles then we decided to catch some to watch grow.
well duty calls.. Hope everyone is doing well

Mike and I lived in a camper for a year when hannah was born. It was an adveture. When it got cold we had propane to heat us up. We learned that 1-ply toilet paper is so much easier for the toilet to handle. We still have the trailer...paying for it but it sits in ga empty for now.... Have fun .... take care....
