Camping

We have decided that we are going to go camping for a full week this year. The only thing we haven't decided on is where we are going to go. I want to go back to Greenwood State Park, but Junior has his heart set on finding somewhere new. The problem is that I want to have a campsite on the water, so the kids and I can swim while Junior fishes. Junior wants to find somewhere that has a pool. I love pools, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to spend my vacation in a public pool while Junior sits by the lake.

We have been buying a bunch of pretty cool things for our campsite. Every year when we camp, I see all the "real" campers putting up lights and signs, and basically making the campsite very homey. Every year I tell Junior that I want to do the same thing, but we never buy the supplies.

This year I have a list of things I want to get before we go, and on the top of my list is comfortable outdoor chairs. I want a chair that can recline a little, and that I can use either to relax at the campsite during the day or to fish by the lake at night. Lights were on my list, too, but we bought some already when the Christmas stuff went on clearance. We ended up with four boxes of rope lights, and I can not wait to see how they look set up on our gazebos.

I am sure where ever we decide to go, we will have a wonderful time. We will just have to keep Kasi away from the campfire.
