It is not really camping unless...


It is not Really camping unless..
1. you get 101 mosquito bites
2. you have burned jiffy pop on an open fire (more than once!)
3. you have eaten an entire pound of spits (sunflower seeds).
4. and a few dozen marshamllows with each fire.
5. you have to walk half a mile in the middle of the night to a toilet.
6. you've experienced the knack of using an outhouse, building your lung capacity to hold breath longer.
7. you've gone at least 48hrs without a shower.
8. you leave your satellite television at home!
9. microwave too!
10. You have to boil water to do dishes
11. you've swallowed a fly.
12. you've gotten used to allowing the wosoever to see you in jammies...without make-up!
13. you get camp feet that won't come clean no matter how much you scrub.

Okay - so I approach 50 I have to say that I like: having my own shower/toilet in the trailer, not boiling water to wash dishes, having cable hookup for my TV in the trailer, being able have heat in the night!

I think the guys in the 5th Wheels aren't camping!

Ha ha Fred, I agree..it is those gigantic 5th wheelers that I am thinking about.

I'll pretend not to be jealous of the private bathroom and I too like having the heater at night.

So true! I hear ya with all of those! Make-up is never an issue when you go camping and neither are warm & cozy bathrooms.

We too managed to burn the jiffy pop!

congratulations on conquering your "pyjama phobia" Leslie! Just pretend you are camping the next time someone drops by while you're lounging in your jammies!
