Another summer almost gone and another camping trip survived!  We had to dig deep the first couple of days this year to remember why it's so much fun.  Between the rain and living on 2 hours sleep due to an adventurous toddler,  it was hard......no other word to describe it.  When you discuss with your husband over breakfast what activities to do that take the most driving so the kids will sleep,  you begin to ask yourself why you aren't just going home - that would be a lot of driving.  But eventually the sun came out,  the girl slept through until 5am and the boy stopped asking to drive the car.  It was fun,  and what other group of people could make the "hike" to the restroom such an adventure?
