Nothing says camping like....

Nothing says camping like.....



This little jewel, nestled behind our local
Wal-mart,
(You think I'm kidding, but I'm not)
Roasted hot dogs for dinner,

S'mores for dessert,

Happy Sticky Faces,

Campfire snuggles and "spooky" stories,
Multiple sleeping arrangements,
(this would be Sleeping Arrangement #1)

Missing babies (where's Norah?),
(This would be Sleeping Arrangement #4...no joke)

Sharing a tiny cot with child,
(there's Norah!)

Sharing a cot with a peanut who somehow managed to pee through two layers of fleece,
Finally getting some sleep in the wee morning hours,

Only to be woken up all too soon by Mr. Bright Eyes,

Roasted hot dogs for breakfast,

Chilly babies,
Babies ready to go home,

and dogs who feel sad to be left behind.
Poor Mrs. Sadie.
Additionally, nothing says camping like falling asleep to the soft sound of crickets, the smell of camp fire, morning dew, no TV or computers, interesting bugs, silly squirrels, family memories....
I can't wait to do it again........

NEXT YEAR ;)

It was a load of work taking care of two little non-walkers who wanted nothing to do with their playpen!
