Camping

Camping is one of my favorite things to do. I love being in the outdoors with nature and the fresh air. Going camping also means eating s’mores! My favorite time of year to go camping is in the fall because it’s chilly, the air is brisk, and apple cider tastes better in the fall! But I still like camping in the summer because you get to go swimming.

Izzy’s Top Ten Reasons She Loves Camping

1. Roasting marshmallows over the fire.

2. The marshmallow melting in your mouth as you take a bite and think, man, I need to do this more often!

3. S’mores (Duh!)

4. Sitting by the fire.

5. Swimming.

6. Sleeping in my warm, cozy sleeping bag.

7. Watching my mom fall asleep in her chair by the fire (which she usually does).

8. Sleeping in a tent.

9. Waking up with nature.

10. Oh yeah, and being with my family.
