When we go camping as a family, we usually just go to the in-laws and camp in their ginormous backyard. It's the best of both worlds-- a campfire, a tent, roasted hot dogs & smores, yet there is a real toilet and a shower, and air conditioning if you get too hot. :) That's my kind of camping! The past few times I slept inside on a bed in the a/c. And when Luke saw that I was sleeping inside, he wanted to be with me. But this time I was bound & determined to sleep in the tent. It cooled off enough by night that it was going to be fine. Then Joel started blowing up the air mattresses and one of them didn't hold air, so I volunteered to sleep inside. Luke was still pumped that he was going to sleep in a tent-- until I headed in. So, once again, Joel and his brother were the brave ones to sleep outside in the tent. Ha ha! We had a fun time cooking our hot dogs over the fire and each smores. :) I told Joel my ideal camping time is in the fall when it's nice and cool and you wear sweatshirts and sweats to bed.
