Camping!

   We are not a camping family really. My husband and I both grew up without dads who were willing to go camping. I went camping a handful of times with other families and each time is a special memory. My husband went camping here and there but his dad never stayed at the campsite with his family. My cousin grew up going camping for extended periods of time every Summer. Now as an adult she has five small children but they have already gone camping more times than I have in my life time.  Camping seems to be ingrained in your blood from childhood. Most every child would love to go camping. If parents can manage it there is a great gift given.

  This Summer our children wished desperately to go camping. We happened on a spot not far from home where there was canoe access only. Their dad felt up to the challenge and camping they went. It was a very wonderful experience for them all minus the lack of sleep :) But they all survived.
