We celebrated Memorial Day(weekend) like so many other families.  We went camping.  It has been so long ago that we took the kids camping that they don't remember it.  The days were very warm, high 80s and the nights were very cool, low 40s.  We stayed three nights and had a wonderful time.  I think they will remember this trip.  I know that I will.  I will remember that it takes me a little longer to set up a tent than it used to.  I will also remember that I can't hike as long or far as I used to, and  I like sleeping on an air mattress instead of the ground.  We fished, we watched the birds, and we went exploring.  There was no cell phone service so our phones were eerily silent.  Now the weekend is over and we were all glad to be home in our own beds.  Some of our best times were sitting around the table.  Food always taste so good when it's cooked outside, even with propane.  Also, we taught the kids how to play "Spades", the card game.  They caught on quick and loved it.  The only bad thing about the weekend was this dumb drought.  We weren't allowed to have a fire, and what's a camping trip with out a fire.  Still, it was an awesome weekend.  Now I can't wait until we can go again.
