One afternoon, Cory called me on his way home from work- which is pretty normal- we actually call each other several times a day! He asked what we wanted to do that evening and casually threw out the idea of taking our camping trailer and going camping. We hemmed and hawed and eventually decided to give it a go. So I started to throw things together to camp. We rolled into Willow Creek and as forecasted...the clouds started to roll in too. We considered going home but only for a moment. We were going to stick it out.
We did and the kids had a great time. I say kids because once again we realized that camping is most certainly not a relaxing break for the parents but the memories and quality time is definitely a treasure.
We did decide that it was worth selling our camping trailer. This was only the second time that we had used it since we purchased it and since we only could be away for one night at a time it didn't really seem worth the effort required to set up and clean up afterwards. Life is full of seasons and for us and the season that we are in just doesn't lend itself to extended adventures...but you better believe that we have mastered the day tripping adventures! We certainly squeeze plenty of fun into our summers.
