I also love to convert the non-campers in my life. Would you mind if I quote you? Of course, I'll give you full credit and will link back to your blog.<br /><br />Thanks for considering this,<br /><br />Jean B. in SCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652441562265122088.post-82416870145765731462009-06-11T07:50:00.215-05:002009-06-11T07:50:00.215-05:00love, love, love camping! i also love fishing and ...love, love, love camping! i also love fishing and that comes with the whole ball of wax. :)<br /><br />tucker has been camping every summer with us. we usually have one 'adult' camping trip alone, but he comes with us the rest of the time. he LOVES it! it is so fun to see them explore! last year was the first time he was on a boat though and after a few trips he was loving that too! it is such a great family thing to do together. <br /><br />we already have three weekends set in stone to camp - two of which are this month! i'm so excited.<br /><br />kim - we've never had trouble with tucker around the fire. we just tell him (over and over again) that he cannot go near it. if we make smores or something, we will let him 'help' us, but i think the more you reinforce the danger, the more they understand. max is smart, he'll get it. even with everything going on around the campfire, everyone is still usually looking out for the little gompers. we also have fire's in our backyard quite a bit and we go over and over the dangers with him there too. i guess you can never be too safe.jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044560541276275050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652441562265122088.post-11568866798915486972009-06-09T22:42:57.679-05:002009-06-09T22:42:57.679-05:00i loooove camping. i not sure we're going thi...i loooove camping. i not sure we're going this year - i'm going to be HUGE and not sure how comfy i'll be on an air mattress - but we'll see. i can't wait to take max though, i think he'll love it.<br /><br />maybe this is a dumb question... but how are the little kids around the fire? i feel like i'd be so on edge all the time with max running around and having a fire going. we had one at our cabin a few weeks ago and it was fine, but that wasn't like a 'campsite' atmosphere where you're around and doing other stuff... more like we just made a fire and had s'mores, then went inside. usually when we camp, we have a fire going almost all the time we're at our campsite. any thoughts on that??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652441562265122088.post-16589543558539343592009-06-09T19:25:28.535-05:002009-06-09T19:25:28.535-05:00I'm really sad that we probably won't be g...I'm really sad that we probably won't be going camping this summer. I remember going with you when you were pregnant with Sawyer...and miserable. I don't think I want to give that a try.<br />Fortunately, our little guy will be almost a year next summer and we'll take him!<br />Roast some marshmallows for me.<br />-hGabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294651275042090193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652441562265122088.post-88864497004084868912009-06-09T15:47:59.693-05:002009-06-09T15:47:59.693-05:00We've recruited a few friends this summer.... ...We've recruited a few friends this summer.... Jane, LeeAnn, Leslie and Katie have never been camping (or if they have, it was a LONG time ago). So, this weekend trip should be interesting!

With a six month old, it's just easier to spend the day/night & drive home. I agree, everyone should at least give camping a chance.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381204825179534977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652441562265122088.post-53130018452429168102009-06-09T13:37:20.595-05:002009-06-09T13:37:20.595-05:00You're getting me motivated to make our first ...You're getting me motivated to make our first camping trip a success!
