How fun! Kathy, Kathy sneaking away in the night, for shame! Of course, this is coming from someone who has a comfy, albeit cramped camping trailer to sleep in.

Just love the picture of Tim and Sarah…great face, Sarah…just perfect.

I figure I’ve paid my “true camping” dues by years of real camping in my younger years…my old bones don’t like the hard ground anymore.

Joyce, you have an excellent point. We were fortunate not to have any worrisome critters crashing our camping trip. There were mosquitoes (and the kids and Tim are still itching a bit) but we didn’t have to worry about snakes or chiggers or nasty spiders.

There are some elk that like to hang out in the area but they didn’t bother us. I would imagine the quarreling scared them off.

Cynthia - now you’ve gone and done it. You’ve opened a whole new can of worms, so to speak, with talk of Rice Krispies. That is a previously unexplored side of marshmallows here on the blog. I’ll be sure to get this info right to Tim.

The kids are extremely eager when it comes to the experimentation that goes on in this marshmallow research. They’re just helpful that way.

De’Etta - I think if we ever did any major camping that we would have to get some sort of a trailer. I’m just to pathetic when it comes to sleeping on the floor. Either I’m terribly sore and cramped in the morning (and pretty much useless for the day) or I lie awake all night. Neither one is very fun.

Kristine - I’m glad to know hotel sleeping can also be considering camping. Ha!

I’m amazed. I thought more people were die hard tent campers. Last summer we had people come and speak to our Bible study group. It seemed like every single one of them (couple after couple) listed camping as one of their great family memories. We finally decided to be Real Parents we had to take the kids camping.

Well, this was it.

LOL - I really think I’m getting too ancient for tent camping….and that is probably why Mike decided we needed a trailer. I can stay in the trailer while THEY sleep on the gravel bars of rivers! ::snort:: It works.

Well, *I* think camping for three hours is camping. I think sleeping in a HOTEL is camping. I don’t like camping, of any kind!

That is a GREAT pic of Sarah and Dad!

Oh yea… must not forget the straight from the bag variety of marshmellow eaters! And… then we’ll have to do the rice krispies too, you know! LOVE rice krisipies… I make mine extra gooey with about double the marshmellows/butter.

Ginger - I LOVE your Nutella idea for S’mores! Why didn’t I think of that?? we are big Nutella fans around here. I simply must try that next time. Any excuse to roast marshmallows again (for further research and all that).

Ginger —

It turns out that the Project 365 button was hidden for those who use Internet Explorer, but not for those who prefer Firefox (as Kathy and I do). There was a weird HTML thing going on that hid the graphic for IE users. Sorry for the interruption of service.
