Our Journal Questions Continued

I'm continuing to prompt us to journal for the future generations.  I'm using Mom's book Reflections from a Mother's Heart.  Mom didn't fill any of it out except the family tree.  I wish she had so we could get to know her more; but that will have to wait until we see her again.

The next question for your consideration is: Did you ever go camping with your family? Where? Record one exceptional camping experience. 

I remember camping several times when I was just turning a teenager.  We went to the ocean once which I loved.  We went to NH to visit some of Dad's relatives who had a campground.  I remember the swimming pool and diving off the diving board.  I remember Patuckaway but not where it was at.  That's where we took the pyramid picture of us seven kids.  I remember camping some place that I met some older teens who took me with them to get a bottle of pop.  It was the first time I heard soda called pop.  I really didn't mind camping when I was young, but now, no way, no how...not even in a camper.  I'll take a nice, comfy, air-conditioned lodge or cabin, thank you very much!

How about you? What do you remember of camping?

I remember camping with everyone while Dad worked in Vermont. It was called Iroquise campsight. We used to go swimming and they had a pavillion with games to play. We went there a lot during the weekends in the summer and I used to enjoy going there.
