We had a GREAT camping trip this weekend. Never thought it would still be swimming season in October! The kids slept in their own tent right next to us - without whining! Maiya slept next to us and didn't join us during the night! We made some DELICIOUS dutch oven meals. It was a hike-in campsite so it totally killed unloading and getting there, but once there the kids could go exploring without fears of being by the road. We had some ginormous spiders hanging out in the trees above us but they never came down, and other than them that was the most insect free campout I've ever been on. They were better than citronella candles. We did have some annoying scouts next to us. One wimpy kid came over and asked if we could turn our fire down because "technically some of us have allergies and the smoke upsets us." To which I replied "Well kid you shouldn't go camping then!" - "Can't you just turn it down to LOW?" - "No hun its a campfire - its not a gas log" - Seriously what is wrong with America? Scouts are allergic to campfires? Luckily a leader never came over for me to have to confront cuz there was no way in hell after hiking in three loads of wood that we were not going to have a campfire.
