Welcome!

Welcome to Camping with Momof5Cuties!  I'm so glad you've decided to stop by and take a peek at the first in what I hope to be a long series of blogs about all things to do with camping, campgrounds, nature, traveling, organization, preparedness, etc., and how we try and manage with our big brood!

There are 7 of us, my Superman hubby and myself and then our amazing kiddos who put up with us, ages 17, 15, 12, and twins who are 9.  We discovered the joy of camping a few years ago and only now are really getting into serious camping as a family.  Along with camping, we love to hike, fish, canoe, kayak - you name it and we're pretty game!  We aren't experts in any of these activities by any means and know that we have a lot to learn, but we do possess a healthy desire to try new things and are not afraid to keep at them, always learning.

We look at camping as not just a fun summer activity but believe that there are serious lessons to be learned and very important life skills that we can teach our kids as we are out traipsing through the woods and streams.  There is so much to learn that cannot be taught in a classroom and definitely not through the t.v. or video games, things like the patience it takes to learn how to tie a strong knot, the importance of preparation and organization, the absolute necessity of environmental stewardship, no matter where you are or what you do - there are so many things to learn, for the kids and for us!

So I invite you to follow along on our journey as we grow - thanks for stopping by and you're welcome back anytime!
