When I was a kid we used to go camping with my Dad all of the time. Camping to us meant throwing some blankets and snacks on the back of the horse and riding until we found a spot that looked good. Well that was a long time ago and a lot has changed.
We've never taken the girls camping in fact I don't think that Grant and I have gone camping since college. Lucky for us we have a few family members who go camping all of the time, but their camping includes more than a tent and some snacks. There is heat, porches, cable tv, etc which meant a good chance to see how the girls felt about the great outdoors. I have to say that we had great success! Adelaide now tells everyone that she is the best s'more maker which isn't entirely incorrect. A would patiently rotate her marshmallow until it was golden perfection and then she would give it away because we discovered that she doesn't like to eat them. Good deal for me because you can never eat enough s'mores in my world.
So there were the s'mores, pumpkin carving with GGB, a ride in the golf cart at night, a chance to chase Aunt Jackie and Uncle D around and lots of fun family time. The girls would have stayed there all night if we had prepared, but it was cold and we had already had lots of plans for the week. There is no way A is going to let us go up there and not camp next time so make room family because this kid is persistent.
