"I&amp;#039;m taking a break for a moment from the haphazard packing of the beat-up minivan to let you know that I am going camping with my kids. In a tent. With thunderstorms almost a complete surety. No, I haven&amp;#039;t been drinking. I&amp;#039;ve changed the reservation twice with the campground already, because it&amp;#039;s rained or stormed almost every weekend (and a lot of days in between). They weren&amp;#039;t terribly happy about it, and told me they wouldn&amp;#039;t be doing it again. And, of course, there are no refunds. So we go, and we hope for the best. Worst case scenario is we come home and sleep in our beds tonight if we get rained out, and go back in the morning. The campground is less than half an hour from home, so we do have a safe place to be if the weather gets ugly. I&amp;#039;ll just make sure I peg that tent down good! If we&amp;#039;re fleeing from a storm or watching DVD&amp;#039;s on a laptop in a tent while it rains or roasting marshmallows under a clear sky, we&amp;#039;ll be together and we&amp;#039;ll be making memories. And that&amp;#039;s just fine with me. I may not be able to take them to Disneyworld, but we make our own fun on a regular basis. No matter how the trip ends up, we&amp;#039;ll make it an adventure. Have a great weekend everyone!! [Follow Ellie on Twitter and Facebook] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
