It's been a month since I last posted and lots has happened since then. I will be posting tons of pictures this week yet for all of you!

Some of you have been waiting for pictures of our new trailer, but I never got around to taking any, so you will never be able to see it since we have now gotten rid of it. We loved it when we went to look at it and were sad to see it go! You may be wondering why we got rid of it, so I will tell you.

When we brought the trailer home, we noticed that one of the lights in the bedroom didn't work and that when the a/c went on, little pieces of styrofoam came out of the vents onto the floor! The one evening my dad was going to put a new bulb into the bedroom light since it wasn't working. When he took the cover off, he found a dead mouse! We were leaving for holidays in a few days, so we didn't want to get rid of the trailer. My brother, SIL and I never knew about the mouse that was found because my dad knew that if he told me about it, I wouldn't have gone in the trailer! So off we went to Wisconsin. Our whole trip we had no trailer brakes! That makes for a VERY interesting ride and some pretty tense moments! My dad later figured out that the mice had chewed the wires for the brakes. While in Wisconsin, sometimes when my brother or SIL went into the trailer, they said it felt like they were touching an electric fence when they opened the screen door! This also had to do with the mice! Us kids went home and my parents continued on with their holidays. The one day they opened a bunch of vents in the trailer and looked inside one of the walls and it was filled with mouse poop! They couldn't beleive that someone would sell a trailer that had been infested with mice! The mice had chewed tunnels in the styrofoam in the ceiling along the whole trailer! My parents were so disgusted and so angry!

Other than the mice problem, we also found out that the previous owners had always left their black tank open, causing the sewage to build up in there to create a pyramid. In other words, it was so plugged that we couldn't use the bathroom!!! There was no way that we could break up the pyramid... it was like rock!

When my parents got home, my dad called the previous owner of the trailer to tell him what had all happened and this guy just acted like he had no idea! He made an insurance claim and gave us our money back for the trailer. We thought that was pretty nice of him. My parents are going to Fargo today to look at a trailer and will most probably buy it. I think from now on, we'll be looking in every cupboard and vent when looking to buy a trailer! I will make sure to take pictures if we do buy it.

Sorry for the long boring post. I will leave you with a picture of me and a co-worker from our festival parade.
