Gone camping

July 30, 2009

I'm supposed to be cleaning up the kitchen right now, for the umpteenth time today, before we finally pack up the remaining food and head for the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

Getting ready to go camping is anything but bliss and I've written before how I think that word is overused in general. I can't even say the actual camping is bliss (my kids would disagree). It's a lot of work to get ready, it's sometimes wet and almost always buggy (except in the fall).

But it is very, very worth it. Camping together is starting to define us as a family. We're an outdoors family and I like who we are in the woods, a team - working and learning together. Enjoying creation and closer to our Creator.
