Roughing it

I went camping this weekend, tent camp training for Girl Scouts.

It was a lot of fun. We hiked, did crafts, compass games, other station games, had a campfire, retired a United States flag, cooked on grills, dutch ovens, box ovens, and the campire, made a box oven, covered knife safety.

I learned an awful lot.

I loved to camp as a kid, as a Girl Scout. My mother didn't like to but did because she was helping out the troop. Her idea of roughing it was a hotel without a pool. Yep, she loved me to go camping with me.

My husband doesn't care for camping so it's been a long time since I've been.

My girls sort of like it but I'm not sure it's in either one's blood. I know people who go camping a lot, some most every weekend during the summer. Don't know that will ever be me.

It's a fun place to visit but I was so glad to get home last night and sleep in my own bed.

What's your idea of roughing it?

I've never gone camping in my life...I've always wanted to try it out but I think that I would only do it if it in a fully outfitted mobile ride so that I'd have running water, electricity and a place to stay away from the bugs. I'm pretty sure that I'm not cut out for camping or at least "real camping". lol
