Almost 10 years ago our family began the unique tradition of camping in dad & mom's backyard over the Fourth of July. We don't even remember how exactly that started, but every year we have such a great time, we wouldn't spend the holiday any other way. In the beginning Matt & I were still dating and for the first few years we were married we didn't have a trailer so we slept in the house, now that we have the fifth wheel we park that in the yard and sleep there for a few nights. I guess one of the reasons we began doing this is so that those family members that don't have trailers can still 'camp' with the rest of the family. A few of the weekends' activities include fishing, swimming, campfires, and lots of conversation and laughter. As the family grows we all seem to get so busy and spend less time together so I think we now look forward to this time even more. We've realized the location doesn't matter, being together is what counts. Thanks mom and dad!!
