The Camping Trip     

I took a seat by the orange fire. I noticed the logs collapsed on each other.  I felt warm inside.  I was super excited to be here because this was our annual camping trip with my family.  The lake was wide and perfect for swimming in.  It was a peaceful location.  There was almost no one here, except for this other family with a little boy.  He was maybe five and he carried around a little stuffed crocodile.  I stood up and walked to our cabin.  Within our cabin was a kitchen and a bedroom.  I sat down inside and listened to the fire all night.
