A had been talking about camping since the end of July, so in October I was finally able to take her. We went car camping at a state park 20 minutes from home. I took A and M early to set up the tent and play, and then Shannon came, and we cooked and ate dinner. After I built my first fire in 18 years, Shannon took M home for the night. A and I slept in the tent. We ate breakfast and were home by 11:00. It was a perfect first trip.
