About every few days since about November, my 3 yr old has been coming up to me and asking: "Dad, can we go camping this weekend?"
"No, honey. We cant go camping again until the snow goes away."
"Ok......
." You can really hear the disappointment in her voice. A few days later she asks again:
"Dad, can we go camping with my cousins?"
"No, honey. Not until spring time when it warms up."
"But my camper is right there." She points out the window facing the back yard.
"I know sweety, but its still really cold out. It wont be much fun."
"Ok.......
."
Yesterday she came up to me and asked:
"Dad, can we go visit Yogi? He's my best friend." Referring to a long weekend we spent at Jellystone near the Dells last fall.
"No honey. Yogi sleeps all winter long. He wont wake up until the snow goes away."
"Ok......
."
This is going to be the longest winter of that poor kids life.
