let's go camping!

I grew up camping, and I still love it!  As a young girl I have so many fun memories of traveling around to State parks in the midwest in my Dad's school-bus yellow suburban (true story!:) with our camper in tow.  Grandma T was usually along for the ride and we often stopped at a pig show along the way, which only made the adventures more exciting!

These fond memories has made me want to fill our children's hearts with the same family fun.  This summer we traveled to Lake Elmer Thomas Recreation Area on Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma for a weekend of adventure!  We shared a cabin rather than pulling along a rented camper, and that was a great choice.  We had a front row view of the lake and enough space to spread out a little.  Our friends also have a boat, so that was fabulous!  Such a fun, fun weekend!  In fact, just doing this post has given me the itch to get out and go camping again!  I'm thinking a fall camping trip is in order!

Here is a picture tour of our fun!
