I know from time to time, some of you are apt to think that we are a relatively normal family. Tonight, I will remove all doubt that we are indeed a bunch of lunatics.
You see tomorrow we are going camping...for a week...in the cold...in Pennsylvania. Not too abnormal there except that I've never gotten ready for camping while the snow is flying outside. What's with this "fall" weather, anyway? So, along with all the normal camping paraphernalia, I need to remind my kids to bring things like gloves and long underwear. Oh, this should be fun!
Why, you might ask, don't you just cancel the trip? Well, we are going to see Nina's birthmom and her new baby and we had to wait until after football season to go. They're worth it, trust me :-)
So then, you might ask, why don't you stay in a hotel? You see our family doesn't fit in one hotel room, and actually, at some hotels we wouldn't fit in two rooms either. So, instead of paying for two or three hotels rooms, we can camp for a small fraction of that price.
So, you see, we're not so crazy after all - oh, wait, I was supposed to convince you that we ARE crazy...I get so confused.
Anyway, while you are snuggling up in your warm beds this next week, think of us and say a prayer that God would send balmy weather to Lancaster County, PA. Thanks!
We just went camping while the snow was flying as well. People think we are crazy too. It's ok to be a bit crazy! Camping in the snow sure creates some fond memories for the kids to talk about! Bring lots of hot cocoa, hot apple cider, and a crockpot full of chili! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and hats, mittens, winter coats, and scarves!
Have fun!
Have fun Barb! Your family will not be that out of place camping with Lancaster County being Amish country. I suppose they have houses instead of tents.Good thing you will not need to leave your tent to milk the cows.
