outdoor living, outdoor campingThe rustle of nearby outdoor camping tents and their occupants wake me up as I try to slowly get up to start another day. I put on my light weight jacket, unzip the tent and get the coffee going on our camping stove. I say good morning to the other campers as we all relax for a bit before the start of another adventurous day. It is about seven a.m. and the outdoor camping site is already seeing life again as the adults drink their coffee and prepare breakfast. I just sit in my camping chair, sip my hot brew and enjoy outdoor living in the woods. I try to plan in my head what my family will do today, more swimming, fishing or maybe we will take a hike today and find treasures on the way. I figure I probably have another hour of peace before everyone starts waking up. Normally, the kids don’t get up at home until much later, but outdoor living makes them wake up earlier so they don’t miss a thing. Whatever we do, it will be another fun day by the lake and woods.
