What you think does matter

Don't just sit around the house... Get out and enjoy nature. Aw look at the pretty birds Honey.....

Well, finally got around to developing all the hundreds of camping pictures we took - well, my wife developed them, I just paid for it. Man there were a lot of camping pictures........ can you say expensive! But here goes... if you like camping, enjoy the pics. If your thinking of going camping - I say go for it. Camping is the best way to vacation and spend quality time with your family. A Pictures is a thousand words - here they are.. Nice, and cold slow river well, we are in the wild enjoying nature calm just before they almost drown in the river almost 2 weeks living in that ?? camping is not camping without a bike hey, who said you can have fun one of those stagged pic opps my wife loves years of evolution and I still have trouble making a fire I have about 200 pictures from camping, I'd show them all but it's just to much darn work. Hope you enjoyed the pics and yes, the camping site was great - ever want to try it - it's kelly Park in Florida.

Well don't that beat all - I just found out they sell - "Insect Shield apparel" - or as I call it - bug off clothing...lol. We sure could have used "insect repelant clothing" on our last camping vacation. The cool weather kept the bugs away but occassionally some always showed up. Ofcourse here in florida with spring and mosquito season starting up [ if we get decent rain ] I might get some of this "Insect Shield apparel" for the kids. My son gets bit alot - and lately he acts like he lives outside. Here is some info I found out... Look for an expansive collection of Insect Shield apparel for hunting, fishing, camping , adventure travel, and other time spent outdoors from L.L.Bean, Orvis, REI, ExOfficio, Zorrel and RailRiders. L.L.Bean is also launching a new collection of outdoor apparel products for kids, including graphic tees, zip-off pants and accessories; and new Insect Shield hats and accessories are available from Buff, Tilley, Outdoor Research

Camping: hope he pee’s your hand I loved my camping vacation. It was the best - and one of the reasons it was so great - was because I didn’t have to worry about a poor pet I left behind. My wife and kids are always trying to find ways to convince me of getting a pet . Be it a dog, a cat, this time it was a small turtle. Ofcourse I told them it was wrong to remove the poor little thing from his natural habitat [ if he was a he - I didn’t check ??]. I also mentioned the fact that we just can’t take him home - he is wild [ like if he was going to bite someone ]. But really - you go camping to see the wild not to bring home the wild [ you leave that for the bedroom .. uhm, ur excuse me....] My point is, that though he may have been cute and all that to my family - he belongs there at the campsite. It’s where he lives - where he should stay. Ofcourse that didn’t stop my wife from carrying on how we can go to the pet store and get one for home. Like if I want to worry about one more living

When I tell people I go camping - they initially seem genuially interested. But when i mention that i go camping in a "tent", they tend to freak out. It's like - Oh my God, your in the woods and all you have is this thin layer of canopy between you and all of the wild???? I hear all these horror stories about how bad camping is - and mostly it's ussually about "how it rain while they were camping"... I think that rain is just part of the camping experience. For me - it's just one more piece of the fun factor. And I think the boys who were with us on this trip - enjoyed the rain more than I did. i mean lituraly enjoyed it. The rain wasn't going to stop them from having fun - in fact - the rain was the purpose behind all thier fun. Ok - it wasn't what i had in mind when I told them go have fun in the rain - but hey they had fun. They decided that they would have a mudwrestling match. Oh it was the funniest thing to watch. i got a couple of video cl

Yes, Camping is the best way to go if you want a "cheap vacation" loaded with lots of fun. The experience will create long lasting memories for you and your kids. There is just so much you can do. If your like me - your memories are important to you - you want your kid to tell you: I remember when me and mom [ or dad ] did this and that and the other thing.... This camping vacation this spring break was better than last year. it's becoming an annual thing and it just keeps growing & getting better! Last year we were a group of 9, this year it was a group of 19 people [ 13 were kids ]. But with all the fun you can have camping and all the money you can save - I want to point out something, camping can be dangerous. It's funny but you don't think about it until your faced with the realization that - hey, I'm in the wild.... You don't see the danger until it's right there in front of you. Like when on one of my morning walks alone - I ran across a lar

Ok, so camping is the best choice for a "Cheap Vacation" with the family. You can do so much and create so many fond memories with the kids. But where is the best place to go camping in Florida to have your fun filled "cheap vacation"? Thru our research [ meaning my wife's research ] - we've settled with "Kelly Park" in Apopka Florida. It's the second time I've been camping at "Kelly Park" during our kids spring break vacation time from school. This time we are a group of 19 people going camping and 13 of this group are children under 15 years of age - God save me. Six adults and 13 kids - there are 3 separate lots side by side but of course we grouped all the tents side by side so we were close together. Hope my morning breath didn't bother any one? We spent 9 whole days together at "Kelly Park" camping site. I've been camping before when I was a teenager [ 1 or 2 days in New Jersey ] but Kelly park is more of a
