Five Reasons Why Families Should Go Camping

My family never went camping but my husband being the Eagle Scout he is has a plethora of experience. I love the outdoors, being in the woods, smelling the pine trees, taking in the colors of the wildflowers and feeling my feet on the uneven dirt paths, fill my cup.

We spent 7 days in a tent, cooking over a Coleman stove and campfire and peeing in the woods and I loved it!
