REASONS I LIKE CAMPING

 

For those who know me, I won't be the first person you would think of who would love camping.  I don't like bugs, I don't like chaos, I don't like to be too hot, and I don't like public restrooms.  

So why in the world do I like camping?  

Here is the mystery revealed:

1. Wisconsin State parks are awesome!  So many pretty trails and lots of nice campsites.

2. My "to do" list is much smaller when camping:    

    a. Meal prep/clean up

    b. Watching the boys

    c. 5 minute cleaning of the camper each day

3. Plus there are items on my camping "to do" list which rarely get included in a day at home:

    a.  Take a hike

    b. Go to the beach

    c. Get ice cream

    d. Read a book

    e. Watch a movie

    f. Take a nap

    g. Play a card/board game

                Notice that absent from this list is laundry, whole house pick up,                         yardwork (for Andrew), errands, therapy appointments, and book                         work.

4. Nobody cares what you look like when you are camping!

5. Falling to sleep with nature sounds surrounding you on all sides of the camper is really cozy!

6. The boys love camping, and it's fun to watch them have an activity they love and are good at.

7. I'm quite spoiled being able to camp in our nice camper instead of a tent. 

8. When I get home, my normal house seems like a palace. 

9. Hiking and biking are good healthy activities for all of us. 

10.  Good reminder of God’s glory and majesty as I enjoy the beauty of His creation. 

Here's to another summer of hopefully great camping memories!
