Michael came by with the car loaded to the hilt, kids in the back, stuff strapped on the top, Annie at the Grocery store, etc., as they were ready to go camping. He looked a little harried, as the tarp covering the things on top wasn't cooperating. He said, "It would be lots easier to just go to work."
Camping vacations ARE a ton of work, especially if you are taking small children along......Exhausting, especially for the dad with all the car packing, and the mom with all the food stuff, the clothes and dishes packing, and the child care. Why do we do this to ourselves?
Oh, yea.......it's fun once you are there and the camp is set up!!! I remember.

The other thing I remember is that it is TWICE as much work to come home and unpack and put everything away.........sigh.......
It is a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too. Especially hard with babies. They require so much stuff.
We had big plans of going camping this summer. Then we thought maybe we'd just set up the tent in our backyard. Then we decided that our bed seemed a lot more comfortable. :)
I LOVE CAMPING! But holy cow!!! The laundry piles I have this week.... it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't trying to get us ready to go camping next week again!
