I am super excited that we are going camping this weekend with friends, but boy is the work you have to do before, while, and after camping enough to wear ya out. I have been packing, cleaning, shopping, laundry, putting my left foot in, and my left foot out, and back in again to shake it all about. YIKES!!! You know what’s going to happen. I am going to do all this, then when we get home, do it all again, but reversed. Unpack, clean, and then laundry again??? It”s fun right? This is all worth it for the fun. When I look back at all the pictures we took, I’m sure I won’t remember all the work behind it. Mostly because of the beer.
