I am not a huge fan of the outside myself. I just don't how you guys do it. I guess I am too city girl. I would be like in the Parent Trap when they took obnoxious soon to be stepmother camping. I would be her!

Tracy there is not reasonable explanation for this off topic thread. We stop trying to fight it and just go with it and instead.

hubby has been bugging me for years to go camping and I keep putting him off saying at first that my daughter was too young and then that my son was too young but that excuse is running out as they are both old enough now, I will have to come up with something else as I am not a big fan of camping.

Shaa...I'll just have to remain a "city slicker" camper...and that is just fine with me!

But, you go and enjoy the experience of it!

There is nothing like sleeping under the stars and falling asleep to nature's lullaby. I grew up tent camping on islands on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We would go every weekend and tent camp, and water ski.

My soon to be ex had never been camping until last spring, he decided he didn't like it when I had a friendly encounter with a rather large racoon. Rocky (that's my name for him) came up for a chat by the fire, I had to let Rocky know that he wasn't welcome at that time to come back and visit when other campers were there. My husband didn't think it was cute and wanted to go home then. Such a city boy.

The animals wouldn't bother me it would be insects that I am not fond of.
