Who knew I would actually enjoy some country time? Seriously...growing up in the country...while it was beautiful and we did keep busy as kids...as an adult, during camping trips...I didn't actually care much that I was in the country.
We were camping at Sibley over the weekend..and I have to say, I cannot remember being so relaxed. It has been a long, long time. The kids loved the chipmunks that would come right up on their knee for a nut...guess they've become very tame..as are the deer who will, with some caution eat food right out of your hand. The poor skunk that was seen with the container over it's head...our friend Bruce tried to get it off...but in pulling on the container, he lifted the skunk right off the ground! It didn't even lift it's tail!! But, the skunk got away. Hope he wiggled out of that container.
The kids, ours and the ones all around us had so much fun. You could hear them laughing from many sites away. My son and his friend Chelsea made themselves a tent..they used wood from the site, some duct tape (orange)and Joe's camo sleeping bag to make their tiny shelter. They also decorated an old tree...with pop cans and other shiny things to decorate...and it was Christmas!! Presents on "Christmas Day" were painted rocks, daisy's and pine cones. Such creativity.
I cannot wait to go camping again.

Some garden hoses are now coming out with warnings that it’s unsafe to drink the water from them. The problem – the hoses are made from recycled rubber – so they don’t know where that rubber came from. To be safe - don’t drink from the hose!
