Here we are camping at Lake Fryer

We had a really good view of Lake Fryer which is in a small canyon. There were lots of fish and we wished Declan, Marni, Tim and the other fishermen in our family could come and camp with us! Maggie would go and look out the door, but was good and got back whenever they opened the door. We would have liked to go out but there were too many dogs and some barked all the time! That made me pretty nervous.
You can see some of the campers across the lake from us. It looks really pretty and calm but an hour later, we had quite a thunder storm! My family was proud of me because I stayed pretty calm even when it thundered from about 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sat. Sometimes all 4 of us sat on the couch together just to be sure we were safe! I have been afraid of thunder since I was a little kitten but it doesn't bother Maggie much.

We did keep a good watch on those dogs! Sometimes we needed to check on all the kids running around, too. And there were lots of birds, too. We can't wait until we go to Ruidosa, NM in 2 weeks and get to see all the hummingbirds and maybe deer! We know we get to go along because we were such good campers this time!


This was my favorite place to rest after all the other spaces I tried. I am in front of Maggie's bed but this was a nice cool place and very quiet. No one bothered me here. I'm sure they'll let me sleep there again on our next camping trip.



And my silly sister, Maggie, liked to sleep up on the dash! She couldn't even see out because they had those sunscreens up. I think she just likes to show off. She would probably even ride up there--Like Dee & Bob's Little Kitty did on their trip to Alaska--but our folks made us ride home in the shower again. They did let us out when they stopped to eat lunch in a picnic area but there were 3 noisy trains and I didn't like that at all! There were too many mosquito's to get out & eat outside, but Maggie almost got out an open window! That got everyone excited. This trip was lots of fun and we can't wait to go camping again!




Their first camping trip

Here I am, Mollie McGinnis and I will be 12 years old Oct 1 and it is my first camping trip! You can see my family thought they should cover the couch with a pretty sheet so I would shed on something that could be washed. And right close at hand is my basket of treats, toys & cat food. I traveled with my 'sis, Maggie, in the shower with our potty between our 2 beds and with the shower door locked so we couldn't get out to look out the window!

But believe me, once we were parked we took our places looking out! Maggie is quite intent on watching birds.
We lounged a lot as we were tired from the 2 hr trip north to Wolf Creek Park on Lake Fryer just south of Perryton, TX. We did get a lot of praise as we didn't make a peep in all of that long ride!


And our family did provide us with our own room as we are accustomed to having at home. This is just a glimpse, but you can just see me in my bed on the passenger side of the cab of the RV and Millie's bed is on the driver's seat. There was a great space for our new Breeze potty system--Aunt Marni told Mom to get it. Has a drawer in the bottom that they put in something that looks like a Pamper & they just take that out & put in a new one when it gets wet! The other stuff goes in those pellets on top--no fuss, no muss, no smell. We were quite happy that we are curtained off from their part of the RV and have our own privacy--we just slip under the curtain. I was very good and slept in my bed at night, however, Millie got up and played a lot which got her in trouble sometimes!



And when we got bored with our own beds, we just slept on theirs! You see there is even a little tent for a camping theme on our throw for napping on when we need a change of space.
