The family Shepard, who, for years and years and years, have talked about going camping, finally are going camping. We've collected tons of gear—stoves, sleeping bags and pads, headlamps, and cooking equipment. We've subscribed to Backpacker magazine and Outside, and we've scrupulously ripped out articles we've found intriguing. We even have a special camping cookbook.
Yesterday I made a reservation online with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, securing a site at White River State Park.
Can you tell I'm really excited?!?
More details will follow. For now, I'm putting out a call for tips on camping, especially with kids—just leave 'em in the comment box.

We haven't camped with the kids yet. I'll be interested to hear how it goes for y'all. We're planning on doing Yellowstone in a couple of years.
We have to wait until John's bug-phobia goes away. He'd be a basket case in a tent.
I can't wait to hear how the boys like camping!
