yes, more camping:)

sometimes i wonder if it’s all worth it.  the packing. the preparing. the dirt.  the shopping.  the drive. the dirt. the lack of showers.  the patchy sleep. the cold. the heat. the dirt. the bugs. the realization for necessities forgotten.  and last but not least: the. dirt.  is it worth it? yep.it.is.  because you get to sleep in a tent. you get to wake in a tent (that’s my favorite part).  you get to experience quiet even among  ruckus childhood laughter.  you get to enjoy smores. you get to sit fireside and chat with friends.   you get to eat off paper plates, thus eliminating dishes (yes!).  you get to have your husband do most of the cooking (double yes!).  you get to take in sights like this…

you get to gather pounds and pounds of pond weeds…for hours…and hours.
