It didn't look anything like yours but similar because it was in every winter picture taken of me for about 12 years! :) We will go camping with Libby and Liam in July for 5 nights. I feel a good blog posting coming on about that one and we haven't even left yet. I also loved camping when I was a kid. We've only been out with Liam one night two summers ago. I'm guessing we are going to have our hands full with both of them. Especially our cute little drama queen of a 18 month old. :)Linds and Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493534817686336802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-23074146497596114102010-05-17T12:21:38.053-07:002010-05-17T12:21:38.053-07:00good times, good times.

I like my toilet (because it's blue) and there is always bed inside as a backup :) Jenni BAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353938902325380394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-44789922360153664532010-05-13T22:14:39.223-07:002010-05-13T22:14:39.223-07:00First...loved the video...now on to the question a...First...loved the video...now on to the question at hand...<br /><br />I dislike camping. Last time I camped I swore I never would again. I did. But insisted on renting an RV as I was pregnant and sick everyday and wanted my own toilet and ac. So that doesn't count does it?<br /><br />Now that I have a little one, I want to go again, for the same reasons you write about. Loving camping because those you love, love camping. What a great way to see the cup half full, even if full of dirt.<br /><br />Great post and great traditions!Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740595759842423092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-963524487125714202010-05-13T22:10:12.328-07:002010-05-13T22:10:12.328-07:00Totally amazed that you camp with the kiddos!

I thi...I'm not sure what catagory I fall into. I think I love it but I've only been three times. Once as a kid sleeping on the boat on a lake. That was awesome. Once 9 months pregnant with my 3rd baby peeing in 30 degrees outside 4 times a night (but the days were awesome family time). And the third time was last summer on the church campout in the fall. It rained the whole time, tent flooded, 2 babies, 2 portacribs, and 2 bed wetters, and yet we still had fun. I guess I'd have to say I love it if I can survive all of that and still have a good time. Now that I'm reading this maybe there's something wrong with me.Seasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395109834434580540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-25206931782549021722010-05-12T22:46:17.526-07:002010-05-12T22:46:17.526-07:00P.S.

But I haven't gone camping yet with a baby...if I did, I might fall into the "camping hater" or "love because I have to" categories. :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548063638135975715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-31621903063993088862010-05-12T22:44:22.889-07:002010-05-12T22:44:22.889-07:00I don't fall into on of your three categories....I don't fall into on of your three categories...I just "like" it, not love, not hate and not love because I have to. I didn't grow up getting to camp much since my family didn't, but the couple times I did get to go as a kid I loved it (one time I got to go on the famous Mother's Day weekend camping trip, but I got to sleep in Grandpa and Grandma's RV with Jayne :). Now, I just like it since, as an adult, it's a lot of work and not all play like it was as a kid. Also, for me to enjoy it, the weather has to be good and there has to be some type of toilet.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548063638135975715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-5534433511015047592010-05-12T20:29:35.716-07:002010-05-12T20:29:35.716-07:00I mostly love it.

I don't mind giving up the comforts of home and I LOVE campfires, but I do require a toilet of some sort. Even an outhouse is ok. I can live without a shower but don't make me live without a toilet.Cooking with Big Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022582208907832592noreply@blogger.com
