swimming, camping cookware



     The temperature outside was a balmy 28 degrees. Not exactly the ideal outdoor camping weather, but the hot springs will be perfect. My family and I packed up the camping cookware and headed off for a weekend of water aerobics, swimming and resort camping at a beautiful hot springs in Montana.


     The drive was filled with sightings of antelope and moose, along with the occasional coyote foraging for a snack. We sang songs together and laughed at our imperfect pitches at times. This is what life is all about, enjoying family, and going on adventures together.


     We arrived at the hot springs just in time to swim in the falling snow. The water was wonderfully warm, and the children were all smiles. My wife quit swimming a little early so she could make sure that the motorhome was warm and inviting. We had a wonderful meal that night, sloppy joes and homemade french fries, that for some reason tasted better there, like a big steak and some crab legs.


     That weekend was perfect. The wolves howled and my wife snored, perfect.
