I don't think I'll ever out grow camping. I love it. My grandmother on my dads side still goes camping from time to time. Only she sleep in a camper. We use tents and sleep on the ground. I have just about all our camping gear ready to go.

Camping is great in my opinion. We are going to an island near the campsite. It is free of cost to camp there. Our church will be the only ones there the week that we are going.
If there is any one on here that would pray about a girl going camping with us that her guardians will let her go with us. She has some things that she is going through and I think it would benefit her to get away from the situation that she is in. Our Pastor also thinks this is good idea for her. All the grown ups going said they would help keep an eye on her. She is 15 years old. She also helps me in the Kids Sunday School Class. I am hoping and praying that she gets to go with us.

Yes, I definitely think you have to be a young person to really enjoy camping.. unless of course you are in a wonderful motorhome!!

Camping is as fun as you make it for yourself. I can remember when I would have to go camping with my parents even when I didn't want to. I would have rather stayed home with my Grandma. Now I fully enjoy camping.

You are right Brenda... any event or activity is as pleasurable or enjoyable as we want to make it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting down camping. It's a great activity for you and your familiy and for all the other people who enjoy it.. I'm just saying that it's not something I want to do anymore but I'm glad to hear you love it so much now.. that is a good thing!! :D

BBB I wasn't thinking you were putting camping down. Everyone has there own favorite activity/hobby that they like doing. Camping is'nt for everyone. I'm sure when I get older I will prefer to have a motorhome. They are nice. But for know I will stick with the tent and the big outdoors.
Have you got to do much riding lately? We are taking the bike out next weekend.

Hi Mrs. B.....
I haven't ridden in a couple of weeks... just too much stuff going on right now. My husband is getting his older Harley fixed and ready to ride today. He has two Harleys. I will probably ride next weekend when life settles down some!! Just been too busy with birthdays and BBQ's etc.
Have fun camping!!

I really enjoy the fall too... college football starts and the weather is still warm during the day but cooler at night and the leaves all turn colors.
