Camping: I do it for the kids. I.do.it.for.the.kids.

After years and years and years of our annual family camp out, I still hate it. 

I will never understand why people pack everything from their home to make the outdoors feel like home...when they could just STAY HOME!  

I do it for the kids, people.  

I even sucked it up this year and slept in the tent with Nate and the kids and the dog!

Brooklyn said she had more fun camping than she did at Disneyland!

Here are some pics:
