Work before play, that's what I say...

There are benefits to living on a campground...

You get to drive a tractor.

There will always be plenty of chores for your children...

They'll spend a lot of time outside,

And (cross your fingers) they'll be close!


And... you meet some amazing people! This summer, we met wonderful people from all over the world and had great conversations with them. There were two families that stand out because of the neat things they were doing.


The first one is the Story family. This faithful couple saved for three years so that he could bike across America, earning money for African widows and orphans. Dad would bike out in the morning, and then the family would follow him in a motor home. Sometimes the older ones would bike with him for a while. As they traveled, they would tell their story, and people would donate. They felt really strongly about their cause, and you can find details in The Story Bike Trip 2008


And, the Clements family....They were so very sweet and fun to talk to! They were taking their girls on a trip to see ALL 50 STATES! Wow! You can see their story here. I think they have a lot of money, but they were not snooty at all!
And there were many more great people...

So anyway back to working at the campground...
After working all morning, we played all afternoon at the children's museum!

I bet it is such a fun experience for your family to live on the campground. It will be something they will always remember. That looks like a fun children's museum. They need something like that here.

This got me thinking about how fun and unique it really WOULD be to grow up on a campground. Such tremendous opportunities! Your kids may not know or appreciate yet how lucky they are, but they will someday, and they'll thank you for an incredible childhood. We love you!

Looks like a lot of fun! What a sweet family. Give them all a squeeze for us!
