When are we going Camping?

We made it through the week, Hooray! The only thing is, we told our kids that we were going to go camping at the end of the week so we had to hear, "When are we going Camping?", all week. So every day we counted down how many sleeps until we got to go camping. When Friday finally came we packed up the car and took off for Tehachappi, California, which is a little over an hour south west of us. It was so nice and beautiful there. We were happy that we had gone. We relaxed, talked with friends, went for a hike, and let the kids get as dirty as they wanted. It was great!
When asking my kids what their favorite part about camping was T said, "building a fire", go figure, the kids a pyro thanks to his grandpa. MJ pointed out that the big hollow in the middle tree was his favorite part of camping. I think it was my favorite too, it kept the kids entertained for hours. J loved the hike that he took us all on. I actually really enjoyed being lazy and sitting around talking with friends.
We keep telling ourselves we need to go camping more, so we are going to have to try and do just that, because it really wasn't much trouble to put together and for one night it is great entertainment.

I agree that we all need to go camping more. Once or twice a summer does not seem like enough. Next summer we will have to do better!
