Camping (:

Every summer the only thing on my mind is "When are we going camping again" The joys camping brought to my family and many others! The best part of camping was the fact that you don't have to care that you don't look your best, or how every single day can be a new adventure. The green tree's that surrond the camp sites. The birds chirping the the morning telling you to wake up. The croak of the frogs at night while your trying to sleep. The memories of when I caught my first fish and crying because I didn't want it to die. The heat of the fire feeling like it burned your skin making you rub your legs to cool them down. Walking around the campsites colecting sticks for fire wood. Camping always brought familys closer. Roasting those sticky marshmellows on the fire. Sitting on a boat waiting for a bite on your hook, the excitment when you catch the fish. The screams when you jump off the dock into the freezing cold magestic blue lake.
Probaly one of my favourite things about camping is the wilderness, its always so beautiful and full of new adventures. The way the tree's smell in the morning always wakes me up, the wonderful sent carries on through the day. All the many colours of tree's surrounding us. Making everyone happy. All the amazing animals that randomly crawl by uour camp site. The sounds of the squirrles running and squeeking through the trees. The chipmunks in the fire place trying to find scraps to eat digging around, paper and scraps of wood falling around the metal hollow circle. The moose running down the hill to the lake to get a drink of water, with its baby following close behind. The memories that you will never forget after campingare usually amazing! Deers chasing and hissing at you while your sprinting for the outhouse. Fishing and while your trying to catch another fish, you think your fish is dead then it just hopes back into the water. Year after year, my family always bring up these wonderful memories. Sometimes it embaressing but camping is a whole lot of fun!
Camping can consist of many things but of thing for sure everyone does is have a camp fire. Roasting marshmellows over the hot coals, getting the grahm crakers and chocolate ready to make the smores! The smell of the smoke sticking to you for days after you get home and have a shower. The burning hot flames making you look away by the amazing marvel of the fire. I can rarley imagine camping without a fire. I always remember my sister and I cooking many diffrent things over the fire, such as Fish guts, Leeches and much more. The white smoke riseing into the air, then suddenly you feel it blowing on your face. You quickly close your eyes, then your eyes start to water. Thats one of the worst things about smoke. Sadly my family only lights fire at night so we have to find something better to do during the day, many times it consists of walking around the camp sites.
The camp sites are always filled with something to do, its very entertaining. Playing hide and seek through the forest. Building forts out of sticks, going swiming and of course going to catch snakes. I have to admit that snakes are one of the easiest animals to catch. Once you get past the scales and teeth, the longs tounge. They are really fun to play with. Walking around the camp site, nothing in our hands heading off to catch snakes. The rocks in our flip flops and our hair tied back. It was a perfect sunny day to fid some snakes. We walked down the grassy path to the lake, suddenly I see something quickly moving past my feet, I figured it was a snake, so I strat running after it. I lightly put my foot down right below its head, grabbed its tail. It's body curled around my lower arm, one of the weirdest feelings ever. After a couple minuetsmy sister and I had four snakes two around my arms, and two around hers. We alwasy seem to find something fun to do. I will never forget the time when my dad and sister bet each other a dollar to eat a tadpole with a marshmellow, it was soo funny to see their faces when they tasted the slimy little creature.
Our camping trips are always filled with days packed with many things. But at the end of the day its always good to get into my sleeping bag and drift off to sleep getting fully rested for the next day. But sooner or later we had to leave. So we packed up our stuff and got ready to leave, driving down the road out of the camp site, wondering when we wouldgo camping again.
