Seriously..."Nobody puts Baby in a corner"<br />Seriously? I've always had a little fantasy about how GREAT family camp would be! (Like Dirty Dancing!) I did summer camp as a kid and loved it and sharing that experience with my family would have to be great, right? I think I'm rethinking the idea.<br /><br />I am glad they gave you some financial incentive. Soooo sorry that it turned out like it did. Ahhh, sand, surf, palm trees, mai-tais - maybe that flight to Hawaii isn't so long after all...<br /><br />AllyJust A Normal Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044107177408002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-18018147914013531642010-09-18T11:05:19.007-05:002010-09-18T11:05:19.007-05:00Dirty Dancing!

I can watch it over and over again. :)<br /><br />Family camp always sounded fun to me, too--just with someone else's family! <br /><br />Kidding aside, I'd love to try that, just not the place you visited! We've talked about camping at state parks but haven't made the leap with kid and toddler. Maybe I'll just go alone.

Oh yes I have been to family camp, as an organizer but thought, "ooo, I will bring my three toddlers, it will be so fun". Running a camp while nursing and chasing boys was not fun. I want to try again as well. :) I have read about one in Oregon that is all treehouses...that sounds fun. :)Gabrielle @ i.crafthttp://icraftatbeewisebags.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-53519476797396408552010-09-15T09:06:08.567-05:002010-09-15T09:06:08.567-05:00What a crazy story!

Surprisingly too, since this is exactly the type of thing that happens to me.<br /><br />We did have a similar one, though. We were looking for "Little House on the Prairie" and got a nasty shack decorated the same way (LOVE YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THAT) and a murky pond swimming hole with so much seaweed (pondweed?) that the daughters would not step a toe into it. <br /><br />We left after one day. I guess I was a quiet version of the mom in your story. We ended up staying in a hotel and making a vacation up as we went along. <br /><br />There was only one other family there,and they were permanent residents and overseers. I got the total creeps from them and became convinced that they had broken into our shack while we were out and stolen a favorite hair bow. My husband still thinks I'm nuts and we just lost it, but I remain convinced of the bow theft incident.<br /><br />Grin.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-23212906162312645692010-09-15T06:13:46.855-05:002010-09-15T06:13:46.855-05:00What a great post!

My eyes stayed open the whole post! :> I too, love Dirty Dancing (will you be watching DWTS??) and must have it completely memorized. Line by line. Lol! Your tale had me gasping & imagining & oh my! No, I haven't been to a family camp before. Though, my oldest is begging to go camping camping, so we might adventure to that next summer (though, I require la toilette! I've done my time in the woods btwn camping with fam & growing up in Girl Scouts!!). Hope you get some sleep...as soon as I link up my SITS post, that's where I'll be headed. But, I'm glad I stayed up to read yours...must admit I got a chuckle. :>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572568205513606978noreply@blogger.com
