Camping

I remember when camping was easy enough that all I had to do was load a tent, sleeping bag and something to burn, into the car. Now it takes a lot more. With kids it involves nothing short of a U-haul, a tent that sleeps 10, and enough food to satisfy the pickiest of eaters. We spent the weekend before last in Manti for Lonni's endowment at the Manti temple. We thought the kids would love it. We had fun until it was bed time. It was midnight before they fell asleep and they were both up at 6 AM the next morning (after a night of being kicked in my sleep by one or both of them). It also takes a lot to distract the kids from wandering into others camping areas. All I can say is that our first family camping trip was . . . memorable.
