Washing the Van and Camper

While it rained on Sunday, the kids, Dear Hubby, and I washed the van and new camper. The kids were so excited to be "playing" in the rain. We figured they were going to get wet anyway, so might as well let them wash the van in the rain. By the time we got to the camper, it had pretty much stopped and the sun had come back out. The pictures of the camper are the after shots. Compare the front of the camper to those in the previous post and you'll notice a huge difference. Dear hubby thinks that we increased the value by at least a $1,000 just by washing it. It does look a quite a bit newer now that it is clean. That goes for the van, too. We've owned it for a little over a year and this is the first really good scrubbing it's had. The kids were really impressed that the van looks white now and not gray. It rained again today and the three year old said, "Mommy, can we get our bathing suits on and play in the rain, again?" Maybe we've stumbled onto something here. Washing things in the rain actually motivates them to want to work! Who would have thought it?
