When I was young, my parents bought a pop-up camper with the Brockmans (some of our best family friends when we were little). My mom refused to tent camp in the Texas heat and humidity, a decision with which I heartily agree. However, I don't live in Texas anymore - and the weather in Colorado and the mountains is epic for camping/
So we bought a tent!
And set it up for the first time in the backyard tonight for a staycation at Quivas. I have to say, it was an incredible evening! Mike set up his ancient (yet still hearty as well as functional) fold-up picnic table, started a fire in the fire pit, and despite the massive state of confusion our dogs were in, I think they'll eventually get on board, too
We're going to start with car camping, but eventually our goal is to backpack across they Rockies. And beyond. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm incredibly excited for the tent-filled adnventures comin' the Clayton's way!
KENDRA!!! YAY!!!!! How much fun!!! Someday, if y'all want company in your 'cross the Rockies adventure, give the Cannons a call. We'll start climbing bleachers in anticipation! :-) :-) :-)
