Mothering Many

That’s what we’re doing! After too many years of not being able to figure out how to take my wonderfully large family away for a vacation, we started camping out in the backyard. We have a ton of fun, and it’s pretty cheap entertainment, considering. Now, you might not need to stay quite as close as we do, but it can be a lot of fun to play tourist in your own home town. Las Vegas vacations for those in Nevada, and coastal excursions for folks in this area. Maybe even arrange a trade!

Just kidding. So far. Seriously, I can’t help but think that we might come out better with a horse and buggy than to continue buying gasoline at today’s prices. Really, horse supplies can’t cost four bucks a gallon, can they? And we could get a stage coach to hold us all, and that would just about be sweet. Except for the poop. Haven’t quite figured out what to do about all the poop.
