camping stoves
December 17th, 2008
My boys have yet to experience a real honest-to-goodness camping trip. As a single mom, I really don’t have the necessary skills or experience to lead a pack of rowdy boys out in the wilderness.
My neighbors recently went on a trip with their kids, and brought back a lot of fantastic stories like catching fish for their dinner and cooking them over a campfire. My boys were naturally jealous, even though they knew and understood our situation. What I did to make it up to them was to pitch tents in our backyard, and cook smores over the camping stoves that I got for our outdoor activity. Then we lay down under the stars and I told them stories of the old West.
