Kämping Dad
Pärast mu ema abiellus minu kasuisa, Ernest Diaz, sisse 1981, he was looking for a way for us to spend time together. Olin matkadel Boy Scouts, so Dad decided that camping would be an effective way for us to get to know each other.
A friend of Dad’s owned property and a cabin in Greenville, MO. We did not stay in the cabin or in a tent for that matter. Isa meeldis laagris “tähtede all” so we slept on a cot by the fire. He normally slept in his chair.

Meie esimene reis, keegi oli pargitud oma autot väike kruusatee, mis me varem laagrisse tiigi. Isa sõitis ta oma 1981 Ford Thunderbird kasutades väikese kaldega maantee.
Kui me tulime maha hill, olime ikka sõites kaldus kahel rattal just nagu üks mu lemmik näitab, the Dukes of Hazzard. The car tilted back down, and we arrived at the site. I thought it was cool, but I do not think Mom was so crazy about our adventure.
Püük on nii hea. Tulime koju 40 kuni 50 bluegill, which Grandpa Ellis grilled up weeks later with some more that he and Dad caught out of Lake Tishomingo. See oli üks väheseid kordi, et ma nautisin kalapüük.
Parim osa telkimine oli alati tulekahju ehitasime, mida me süüa kuuma koera ja vahukommid. Soovime panna suur log keskel ja kui kesklinnas põles, me tõstaks pool tulle. Ta hoidis põleb kogu öö. One year we got it so hot, it melted the cuffs on Dad’s pants.
Pärast esimest paari aasta jooksul, Dad’s friend sold his place, but the camping trips helped us bond and are my favorite memories of Dad.
