I loved the way I grew up.
All of us lived in a fairly urban area.
This was challenging in addition to also rewarding in a lot of ways. However, our Mom was an avid outdoorsmen. He did not let the fact that where he lived impact his access to getting outside. That man was never all that comfortable sitting in the HVAC. He would labor extra hours the first various afternoons a month so he could get a 3 afternoon weekend like once a month. And then he’d grab us out of the HVAC inspected house in addition to all of us were off for a camping adventure. My mom went too sometimes. But I suppose it was also a nice break for his since he was raising 3 guys that were only 5 years apart. While our Mom loved to camp in addition to hike in addition to all that, he was also doing a solid for mom I think. Anyway, I have had the worst time getting our family interested in getting outdoors. The few times I’ve gotten them out to camp a bit has been disappointing. A few rainy camping trips can really put people off of camping. But I have kept trying. And our latest rue to get the family outdoors has had some success. I purchased a portable heating & cooling unit. Of course, you have to do the car camping thing because you need a campground with electric. But it really has gotten our family to at least embrace the idea of camping out with ol’ Mom. Who knows, maybe a few enjoyable trips to the campground will result in getting the family out for some real camping.
