I don't camp!

Pettijohn John Springs Christian camp was the closest I have ever come to "camping". It has cabins, hot water, bunk beds, and A/C in the chapel... I barely survived it. I'm no diva....but I just don't get camping. Lily has been talking about a family "camp out" for months! So I tried to convince her that you could camp in your own home!

Last night we had our first annual family "camp out". We got all necessary supplies.

Food & Entertainment - CHECK


A camping pallet to sleep on - CHECK

Keeping our family close so we'd stay warm - CHECK


Watching Tinkerbell on a big screen, eating popcorn, with the heater on, no bugs, and no chirping crickets - CHECK!
It was great! Now granted DJ and I had to camp out on the couches as well....and I'm not gonna lie, I woke up at 12:30 and went to my bed and slept until 4:30 and then came back to the couch, so they wouldn't know! I can't even camp in my own home apparently. I suck.

That is definitely my idea of camping too. I am not too out-doorsy. AND congrats on the weight loss. That is GREAt! I know it is so hard-especially not eating out as much.

Your girls will never know the difference...at least for a few years!

Hey, you might be interested in the Food Network show today at 5:30 (according to the paper) about Matt Johns, OC Admissions Counselor, weight loss documented on a show - he lost about 50 lbs. it said by getting off fast food and exercising!

That is totally my style! I've never been camping and never plan on it! But, that I could definitely do! Looks like fun!!

I love your last line. You don't, but that's hilarious.

Definitely the way to go! We go "camping" every fall with Cory's family... in a fully functional lodge at a state park! ;) That's my kind-of roughin' it!
