Mamma's Don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys: Camping 2012

This weekend was the annual Struther's camping trip where they go to lake Dillon and camp for several days. We haven't been to the lake since I was Pregnant with A, so it's been a while. But we drove up for the day and hung out. We got to spend some time with Becky & Strut, Jimbo and his daughter Kara and her boyfriend Chris. Bria and Mom and Martin also drove up for the day. We had a good time playing marbles (before all the storms) and hanging around the campfire. The boys LOVED it, although Ro said "It wasn't that fun cause we didn't get to stay the night" i told him maybe next year we can stay the night. I am NOT a big camper, i don't understand the fun in taking all that you own, and packing it up and taking it with you to the woods, just to use it, pack it all up again, bring it home and wash it all. But, I guess it's the fun and experience you take away from it all. I have to admit, now that i am older and have kids of my own, the idea of camping is intriguing. I know Becky's mom and dad taught her the fun of camping at a young age, Eric has always liked to camp, Bria also has been camping since she was young. So, maybe there is something to be said about it. I told the boys maybe next year if Becky and Strut come up, we will see if we can stay for a few days, maybe over the beginning of the week or something, and make it a vacation for us too. I had a really good time yesterday and was sorry that we had to leave early, but the lil ones were getting tucked out. A slept the whole way home, and Ro crashed as soon as his head hit the pillow. Thanks to Becky and Sturt for having us up to visit and explore, the boys had a blast!
