Camping

This year was finally a fabulous age for all three of our kids to be camping.  They can entertain themselves...meet friends wherever we are and enjoy their surroundings.  They swam, hiked, walked the dogs, rode their bikes, enjoyed sleeping in a tent and finding treasures in the outdoors.

We've waited many years trying each year to camp once a year but now we can just pack up and go without all of the toddler, infant equipment that you *think* you need to function.  Life really IS getting easier with these 3 kids.

This camping trip we left for the day I was dismissed from work.  Weird but better than going home and climbing into a depression under the covers and staying there.  It probably helped. I WILL enjoy being at home until I go back to work.  There will be NO outlandish purchases until I do go back.  Money always seems to make things easier.
