I’m just getting back from a wonderful weekend of camping with my wife and kids.  I love that we never asked the question, “what should we do?”  There were chores to be done and there were adventures in every direction.  Both of my boys were dirt balls by the end of every evening but we were able to scrub them off around the campfire while recalling the day. Closeness was easy and our energetic batteries were refilled. 

Even if your not an “outdoorsy” family, there is much to be had for you with a trip to nature.  There are no TVs or cell phones and conversation and adventure are easily had.  In a time where families are running at warp speed to make their way in our society, the change of pace that nature can bring can’t be overlooked.  It’s a chance to slow down with walks in the woods, biking, chopping wood and cooking over an open flame.  There’s just something about it.   

Other than the fuel to get there, it’s also cheap fun.  Get your family out in the woods soon.  Plan a fun trip with you and your family this summer.  If money and the equipment are the issue, much of that can be borrowed, rented, or bought at a discount.  These can be some of the juiciest moments in life.  Put it together. 

Family First Entrepreneurs and people seeking ONO need to take advantage of setting stages that allow for family closeness.  Do what ever it takes to brake routine and bring your family together.  Camping is one way I suggest you do that with the people you love.
