Camp Sweet Camp
Our mini camping trip was really a lot of fun. And it amazes me how quickly we can turn a little patch of dirt and pine needles into Home Sweet Home.
Or is that Tent Sweet Tent?
Despite the work of setting up and packing up the in between time of camping is pure relaxation. It allows for enjoying the finer things in life.
Like reading.
And corn on the cob.
Knitting on the beach.
A wet dog.
And a campfire.
The outdoors can't get much better than that, I tell you.

I'm glad you guys had a nice time. My idea of camping is going to a hotel. :)

Looks like you had a beautiful spot for your little camping trip.

Reading by the campfire is the best! Next to cooking breakfast on the fire...I wonder how little Phil would like camping. Looks like fun!

Oh my....You've made me "hungry" again, in more ways than just one!
Don't you just love the smell of campfire?

Ooh, that makes me miss camping! My favorite thing about it is the forced relaxation.

Ahhh, I see a Harry Potter copy there. That sounds like the perfect camping trip. Just a time to relax without all the fuss or distractions from things at home.

I'm so jealous! It'll be a couple of months at least before it's cool enough to camp here.
You didn't mention S'mores???

A campfire is the very best thing about camping and that's after a whole slew of other great things about camping. Don't you love the smell of the woods?

It looks like you had so much fun!! I like to camp, but dh hates it.
Posted by: Dawn at August 8, 2007 11:35 AM
But...but...no spinning or drinking? I.am.shocked!
It looks like a lot of relaxing family time.
Posted by: Dave Daniels at August 8, 2007 11:39 AM
Ohhhh, I can smell that campfire! DH and I should really get away and camp here while he still has 3-day weekends!

Was there drinking? Can one camp without booze? :?
Glad to see ya'll had a good time and to see that that there was room in the car for Hannah. I had wondered about that.

Did you not bring the Hitchhiker? ;-)
But I'm glad it was so much fun, spinning or no. :-)

I'm an indoor-plumbing grrl myself, but otherwise I'm right there with you.

I love a campfire. It's my favorite time during the camping trip
Posted by: blogless sharon at August 8, 2007 5:12 PM
Did you roast marshmallows? I've wanted to (but haven't yet) float around in my kayak working on some knitting. Knowing me, I'd tip over because I was hot and get it all wet, so maybe I should just float around in my kayak looking at the world.

Fabulous! I love camping, and your setup looks particularly comfortable. Sigh, wish I were camping right now.
Posted by: BigAlice at August 8, 2007 8:48 PM

From a girl who would actually bring a suitcase just to shower at your house, it actually looks like fun!
