1. Setting up camp while the girls run around and play things like "Let's make spaghetti (grass) and meatballs (stones) on this pretend stove!"
2. Watching Dave start the campfire Survivor Style.
3. Amazing wildlife encounters! Favorite of this weekend: wild turkeys wandering through our camp. Not-so-favorite: REAL scorpion in the bathroom!
4. S'MORES!
5. Bats swooping down at dusk to gobble up mosquitoes.
6. Nighttime fun: shadow stories presented from inside the tent, reading by the campfire, stargazing.
7. Tent giggling and sleeping bag snuggling.
8. Bird song alarm clock.
9. The hope each new cast of the pole brings. Watching the giant fish jump, even if they don't bite.
10. My husband wearing my grandpa's flannel shirt.
11. A good hike.
12. Exhausted kiddos sleeping in crazy-contorted positions in their car seats on the ride home.
