Our family has always loved to go camping. Perhaps it’s because we started our married life in the little town of White Earth ND which was less than an hour from Lake Sakakawea. We started with a borrowed tent and moved up to a tent we bought, then a pop up camper and then a pull behind camper and finally an over the hood pickup camper. We also liked to snowmobile but Lisa does not tolerate cold well so going camping was our go to activity. Camping was fun because we could all be together and it was what we could afford to do. We had to eat whether we stayed home or went camping so the greatest cost was our time in getting ready and cleaning up each week. We went nearly every weekend in the summer while the kids were home. We often went with my sisters and their families. My sisters and I would visit about who would bring and prepare what food for the weekend. There was much laughter and food and of course sunburn and everyone was welcome to camp with us. Lisa had tubes in her ears for most of her childhood so she could sit in the water and splash but couldn’t swim because she had to keep her ears dry. She loved the water and playing in the sand. Of course the kids all had extra treats and pop while we were camping so they loved it. Lisa also enjoyed going to summer camp at various locations. Summer was fun and Lisa loved it!
