A FEW OF THE REASONS I LOVE CAMPING.

  

BEING SO EXCITED TO GO, WE GET IN THE TRUCK A FULL 30 MINUTES BEFORE ACTUALLY LEAVING (AND SIMPLY REFUSE TO GET OUT).

  

HOT COCOA WITH MARSHMALLOWS IN THE MORNING AND LISTENING TO MOM READ PATRICK MCMANUS STORIES ALOUD AT NIGHT.

  

MOM'S COOKING!!!

MY RIDICULOUSLY GOOFY FAMILY.

(THIS ONE GOT LOST--IN YELLOWPINE!  STILL LAUGHING ABOUT THAT ONE!)

  

PLAYING PRACTICAL JOKES ON EACH OTHER AND LAUGHING 

WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT GROSS BODILY FUNCTIONS!

THIS WAS FART MACHINE SUNDAY. =)

    

    

    

FINDING PURE JOY IN THE SIMPLEST OF THINGS.

  

RUNNING JOKES AND NICKNAMES!

JESSIE AND HER KIPPER SNACKS PROVIDED US PLENTY OF LAUGHS

AND EARNED HER THE WHAT IS SURE TO BE A LIFELONG NICKNAME: "KIPPER."

JESSIE, I STILL DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD EAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN READY TO EAT SINCE 1893!

  

AND FINALLY:

PLAYING SO HARD IN THE WOODS WE FALL ASLEEP AT THE DINNER TABLE!
