We will sit by the camp-fire and sing a song or two. There will be peace and happiness. It will be a wonderful bonding experience. And everything will be right in the world…

I love camping, but it certainly never matched my expectations of what a family camping trip should be like. We were closer to the Griswold’s with everyone arguing and sometimes wishing they were somewhere or with someone else.

So why do we still go?

Because camping is really no different than the rest of our lives. We have moments of chaos, arguing and not getting along, mixed with other moments of happiness, laughter and peace. Many memories have been made through frantically packing up in the rain, backing up over a deer antler and blowing a tire, and cooking our dinner by the fire. We have enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and swimming races and our bets on who could catch the biggest, most and ugliest fish. We have sat on the beach, and in folding chairs by the fire and have snuggled under the covers.
