Family Camp 06

The Haase Family has entered the world of family camps for the first time this year. Benjamin and Christopher are finally old enough to head into the wild without it being too wild for Dan and me. Ben is big enough not to be swallowed whole by any native Wisconsin animals and Christopher is old enough to know that family camp is happening and that he might miss it. So off we went this year to Timberlee Family Camp in southern Wisconsin. It took us about 2 days to pack all the things we would need to live a suburban life out in the woods. We could have lived out there for months with all it takes to support a four member household for 2 days away from home. We had torrential winds, a poisen ivy scare with the children, and a severe thunderstorm warning given by an eager 8 year old girl moving surreptitiously about the campgrounds like a wild-haired miniture prophet eagerly predicting our doom. All in all a great time! We'll definately be back with our 3 room, 8-person hotel tent and blow-up air mattresses next year.
