“The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
I’m taking this week off — not from living out the blog and all that entails — but from writing about it. The boys and I are headed to our annual spring break teepee camping adventure at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. Lots of family meals, smores, scary stories, and laughs around the campfire.
Today, it’s all about the to-do list. Camping is a lot like the family dinner, I think. It entails lists, planning, no doubt a big mess before, during, and after.
But it’s always, always, totally worth it.
See you post-campfire.
