Childhood camping

So when I read this story, it took me back immediately to my childhood and are days of camping, particularly out west. The article is entitled “What You Should Take on a Car Camping Trip” by Katherine Martinko over at Treehugger.

While unfortunately I haven’t done this with my kids, we have a family cabin up north and so I think we’ve gotten some of the same benefits. I also wouldn’t trade those memories for the world. I don’t think my kids would either.

Vacation time

So for most of the last week, this is where I was, northern Minnesota or what I like to call heaven. It seems like every sunset we see up there is different. This year though, we also went up to Winnipeg, Canada and I must say we had a great time up there too. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of our time there. I’ll have to ask my daughter if she has any. I was busy just enjoying the moments.

Sincerely-

Cabin time

When I came across this article the other day, it reminded me of our family cabin. The one where I went with as a kid and have had the chance to watch my kids experience some of the same memories why at the same time, creating new ones for us all.

One of my favorite memories is of hearing wolves howling late in the night. I heard from my mom recently that my sister and her family  actually heard wolves this year for the first time in many years.

The article is entitled “The Places We Go to Take Stock of Our Lives” by Robbie Shell over at the Wall Street Journal. Here’s hoping that my kids and I get the chance to welcome the wolves back.
