Camping: Things You Need To Know Before You Head Out

When I think of Summer I think of Camping. Being outdoors, enjoying the amazing scenery, hearing the birds chirp in the morning, fishing, riding four-wheelers and of course sitting by the camp fire playing games and telling stories. I grew up in a family of hunters. My grandpa, dad, and brothers went hunting all of the time. Though girls weren't always invited I have a few great memories of being in the great outdoors hunting. Things haven't change, they still go hunting, the girls still get left at home...the only thing that is different is now my husband joins them. As you know I have two girls so we have a fun girls weekend with my mom! Anyways you can probably tell camping makes me happy!
