Urban Camping!!!

My children love two things...their Papa Austen and camping. But because they were born to Rodney and Anne Johnson, they still require some comforts in life. For example, they need the right temp, fans, proper bedding, water glasses, snacks on demand, a mother within 30 feet, and a bathroom near by...or is this just their adult supervision. Regardless, we as their parents and grandparents are going to try within our personal means to provide as much of an outdoor "wilderness" experience as we can throughout their "boy" years. This is what we (my dad) came up with....

The set-up...10 feet away from the house.



The camping team...


The only two brave souls who made it through the entire night!
On behalf of the Johnson family, "Thanks Papa!"

Dear Anne and Rodney: What joy it was for us to watch your kids this past weekend. We hope we created at least one good memory, although the burn on the stove might be a good lesson as well! We love you guys and pray for your family daily.
