Camp Sweet Camp

August 8, 2007 By Carole

Our mini camping trip was really a lot of fun. And it amazes me how quickly we can turn a little patch of dirt and pine needles into Home Sweet Home.

Or is that Tent Sweet Tent?

Despite the work of setting up and packing up the in between time of camping is pure relaxation. It allows for enjoying the finer things in life.

    Reading by the campfire is the best! Next to cooking breakfast on the fire…I wonder how little Phil would like camping. Looks like fun!

    Ahhh, I see a Harry Potter copy there. That sounds like the perfect camping trip. Just a time to relax without all the fuss or distractions from things at home.

    Did you roast marshmallows? I’ve wanted to (but haven’t yet) float around in my kayak working on some knitting. Knowing me, I’d tip over because I was hot and get it all wet, so maybe I should just float around in my kayak looking at the world.
