Well....
I had a brand new experience this weekend (who says I'm not open to learning new things). I have "camped out" before ONLY as part of working at a youth camp and NEVER for a 24 hour period or longer! I have to say that I had a great time, even if I was awoken by the bright bolts of lightening and loud rolls of thunder at 4:00 A.....M.....that's IN THE MORNING!!!
Actually, it was a cool experience! I have talked about it often to my co-workers today. I had a blast and, as a friend of mine said before my wife and I went, we bonded. We worked together and had a good time. The rain is not going to keep me away! I will be going back to camp out again. We worked to get things done (though we did this before the adventure of camping) and did have fun with each other and our rambunctious dogs. This was an experience that helped build our relationship even more. I truly was blessed throughout this time.
It is amazing, the creation of the world, how things work, the beauty found in nature and the friendly attitudes of campers who were strangers. This was NOTHING like camping out at some kid's week-long camp! I am glad I said, "let's go." I learned a little bit and I got away from all that was going on, except my wife and our dogs. If you have a chance, go to a campsite and just stay the night....you will appreciate so many things.
Until next time....
Take care and God bless.
