Camping

I love camping and we haven't done enough of it. There's something about going somewhere not feeling pressure to do anything and being content sitting doing nothing but enjoying your surroundings and people around you. I also like the fact that I don't have to keep telling my kids no to tv, computer or wii. Every time Jared asked I said yes and he asked how. I told him if he figured it out he could do it; he only asked a few times. We went camping the weekend before Labor Day with our friends the Higginbothams to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. Traffic was horrible and we got there with just enough sunlight to set our tent up and start the beginnings of dinner.

The next day we had a yummy breakfast of bacon and fried eggs (along with oatmeal and smores), explored, went to a crummy beach (yes that is the road you see in the upper left hand corner with no kind of barricade) and then out for a late lunch then headed home. Traffic again was crapy but it was worth it. I really hope we get another camping trip in before the camping season is over.
