Camping with the Hite Family

I loved going camping with our family. We probably went so often because it was the easiest on the family budget but it was wonderful for us!
My favorite part of camping was the food. Mom often made stew and biscuits in the dutch oven. We got hot chocolate at breakfast and all the yummy treats we didn't get other times (like oreos and twizzlers). I loved waking up to the cold morning and having a warm hot breakfast that mom cooked.
Dad always took us fishing and it seemed like we always had good luck. We would catch a million fish and then dad and mom would have to eat them all. We even made dad do all the yucky parts of fishing like tying knots, hooking works, and gutting fish. Yet we always said that we "loved fishing". We just loved reeling in the fish, I think.
We all had sleeping bags with our names on the bottom. I think they were a christmas gift from Grandpa Melville one year.
