Thinking of camping?

If you are thinking of taking your first camping trip with your kids, check out REI's article.

It really is fun (most of the time) to go camping. The kids LOVE it - they get to be dirty and play outside 24/7! If you don't have equipment, REI and other places rent it reasonably. It doesn't have to be hard to do (we do a no pots/pans version where everything is grilled and the plates are burned so there's no meal clean up!) You can make things as simple as a tent in the backyard or as elaborate as a week-long road trip to numerous sites in South Dakota. Try it out, you might just love it :)
