Take A Kid Camping Free Event at Panther Creek Park in Daviess County, Kentucky

I LOVE to camp. Growing up, my parents let me keep a tent up in the backyard so I could go out whenever I wanted. I would take out my pillows and sleeping bag to read Tiger Beats and listen to CDs on my Discman. Lots of Shania Twain and NOW! That's What I Call Music! compilations. My birthday parties for like four years in a row were sleepovers in tents in the backyard. I bet we kept the Town & Country neighborhood up all night. Sorry neighbors!

We have camped with Rollins a few times and he loves it too. He is not a fan of bugs and mosquitos, but if we can keep them away, we are golden. The last time I went camping, I woke up with a smashed cave cricket in my bra, but I have just tried to block that from my mind!  I love making memories with him roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories with flashlights. Screens are such a big part of all of our lives now, it's a great way to unplug and spend time outside with Mother Nature. We all need more of that.
