Beth and I took the kids out to Tokens & Tickets to celebrate their completion of another year of preschool. It's a bummer thet school is over for the summer; they love it so much. Anyway, we all played some games at T&T, bought some trinkets with the tickets we won (all of which I hope make it into the trash very soon) and went out to dinner at Shoop's. Saturday we got moving early to head on out to Shipshewana and Elkhart to look at some used campers (Memorial Day weekend got us in the mood to look for one again). Ewing's had surprisingly few, none in our price range, but they did waste our time showing off ones we couldn't afford. That was a bust so we headed to Elkhart and checked out a couple different places, again, none of which had what we were looking for. Sherry had told us about a popup for sale on someone's front lawn in town, so we swung by to look at it, it looke nice so we called the owners to see if we could come take a closer look. Katie was babysitting, so after she came over we went and looked. Nice. A 1996 model, very good shape, only 2 1-inch tears in the canvas, lots of room, well laid out, 2 queen beds, easily towable with the minivan, $2600. Beth and I talked about it over dinner at Mad Anthony's and decided to make a decision tomorrow. Then we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie, which was disappointing. How unfortunate that the franchise had to be dumbed down. Sunday we made the decision to pass on the camper. Neither one of us were that excited about it, for no reason we could really tell, other than we just didn't feel it was right. Not sure why.
