Vacations...

Last weekend we took the children camping for four days. They absolutely love to go camping and consider it a real vacation. I would love to take a real vacation that isn't work but going some where like table rock lake real estate at pinnshores.com but that isn't in the budget. We have a small camper that we have used for the last three years and it has made camping so much more enjoyable. Prior to the camper we camped exclusively with a tent and it was not nearly as comfortable. The children just love to sit in the camper and play card games and read. That makes them as happy as if we went on a luxury vacation. There is just something about being somewhere else even if it is a space in the middle of nowhere that makes life special. We love slowly down and enjoying the quietness of life in the woods.
