reality

We went camping this weekend in PA. Mostly, I planned the trip to avoid reality. The movers come tommrow. My oldest, Bubba (6) is taking it the hardest. He is an emotional kid and this move is very hard for him. I moved a lot growing up so I can relate. I was hoping that this little get away would help him get away from the stress of the move. But it was all waiting for us when we got back. We leave Saturday. I know we can do it, I just don't want to. I try to talk positive about the move and how much fun it will be in California but I don't think the little ones really believe me. 

Camping was fun none-the-less. The kids did great on long hikes and pond swims. Archery, marshmellows and finding turtles & lightning bugs rounded out our days.
