City folk go camping — sort of

tent2.gifMy family has been camping for the past week.

Not outside of course. It’s hot there! But in a tent in the middle of the living room.

My 5-year-old has been learning about camping at preschool, and so we thought it’d be fun to actually break out the tent stored in an unopened box in our attic.

Putting the thing together was fun for my husband because there were no directions. Bravely, he managed and we soon had a bigger-than-I-expected igloo-shaped domicile. My daughter collected an array of snacks for our “camping” trip and I turned on the Discovery Channel (the TV was right there) to find some scenery.

Despite the whirl of the ceiling fan, it was fun to imagine we were actually on a great adventure. Our dogs became “bears” prowling for snacks. We made fire-free S’mores with chocolate marshmallows and Ritz crackers.

But did we sleep there? Of course not, the floor is hard after all.

Next my daughter wants to go fishing. Maybe we’ll turn the bathtub into a “pond.” Do goldfish crackers float?

Thanks for your article. I would like to opinion that the very first thing you will need to accomplish is to see if you really need credit restoration. To do that you simply must get your hands on a copy of your credit report. That should really not be difficult, ever since the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to receive one totally free copy of the credit report each year. You just have to consult the right men and women. You can either look into the website owned by the Federal Trade Commission or even contact one of the main credit agencies immediately.
