If you recall earlier in my summer activities post, my family is having a little family gathering out at the family’s favorite state park this weekend. A bunch of them are going to be camping out overnight and everything, but my particular branch of the family was just going to go out on Saturday for the day.

For a brief moment though, that plan had changed. I went out to lunch with my Mom yesterday and she asked if I would be interested in actually camping out. It’d been a while since I had gone camping (a loooong while) and I agreed. There were some holes in this plan though. First of all, we didn’t have any camping equipment. She was going to try to borrow a tent from somewhere and some supplies…we were going to be borrowing the cooking implements of other family members, etc.

Then we started discussing it. Thinking about food storage and lack of showers. Then we thought about sleeping on the hard ground and not getting enough rest. It’d be annoying to have to borrow everything from everyone and it’s pretty short notice. We had realized that we thoroughly talked ourselves out of the idea.

Not closing the door to camping out in the future, but for now…it’s not really a good option
