Joy

There’s nothing better than spending the weekend doing nothing. Nothing besides spending time with family…playing together, eating together, sleeping together. Without the guilt of knowing you should be doing something “constructive”. Knowing that all you have to do is enjoy the day with the most important people in the world. This is what camping is to our family. We don’t have to go far. We don’t care where we go. Just to be away from the hustle and bustle of normal life where we can just soak each other up. Ahhh…the joys.

  1. Josh just bought an F-250 so that we can (hopefully) get a camper when we get to Vegas. I think that you all should drive your camper and meet us at the Grand Canyon for a Fogle/Howard adventure. I know it's a long drive, but come on, you know you want to!!!
