A camping we will go...

So explain how we lived in one of the most beautiful scenic places in the world for over 8 years and never managed to make it camping once while we were there and have already been twice since moving here to the South? Regardless of how senseless it seems camping with the Cub Scouts was a fun adventure for us!
Twenty five cub scouts (7 of them Bear Cubs) and their families spent an evening under the stars at our Fall Family Overnighter. The weather seemed perfect for the evening with the clear starry skies and no sign of rain in the distance. Someone said that it got down to 49 degrees the morning we all awoke. The night before as we were roasting popcorn over the open fire Kenny was excited that he could see his breath in the cool night air. Leaving Utah for the warm southern climate, we thought we'd never have that chance again. So despite the bumpy ground we slept on or the cold wet tent we took cover in, camping seems to be one of those things we've come to enjoy since moving here. Who would've guessed it?
