Camping

We don't go far when we camp. In fact, we don't leave Hennepin County. This is Baker Park. Lake Independence. Maple Plain. Still as Crystel and Antonio say, "I like being in a different world." This is not home. We camped for only one night but everything was so different it felt like three days. Even the neighbors kindof laugh at us. One moment they see us packing and the next moment we're home. This was the first camp program we attended. The children are old enough to listen and be interested. Crystel was one of the last children to leave the program. They had to rip the mouse out of her hand and tell her to go home. She was so excited. Antonio and Jody left and walked the dogs. I kept a respectful distance from the rodents.
