Yep growing up in the country and now living in the suburbs has made me realize how easy it used to be to just toss the tent out.

Living on a farm, it’s easy to forget how blessed I am to be sitting out under the stars each evening. Thanks for encouraging us all to take appreciate nature and healthy, happy living.

This is a great event . I know a few campers where this was there first experience with camping and they enjoyed it so much they ventured out to other locations

I know this one has taken off for sure! We have it on our calendar. I was also interviewed by the local paper. I’ll try to post a link when it comes out (I think this Saturday).

Hmm, we haven’t heard of this. It sounds like a great idea though. Maybe I’ll sign my family up and surprise them, as we’ve never camped in our backyard before.
