My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past
ten years.
Some of our 41 are funny, especially from the early years when our children were
little. Once, we 42 along Chalk Creek. I was 43 that our 15-month-old boy would
fall into the creek (小溪). I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot. That
lasted about ten minutes. He was 44 , and his crying let the whole campground know it.
So 45 tying him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It 46 - he didn't end up in the
creek. My three-year old, however, did.
Another time, we rented a boat in Vallecito Lake. The sky was clear when we 47 ,
but storms move in fast in the mountains, and this one quickly 48 our peaceful morning
trip. The 49 picked up and thunder rolled. My husband stopped fishing to 50 the
motor. Nothing. He tried again. No 51 . We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a
dead motor. As we all sat there 52 , a fisherman pulled up, threw us a rope and towed (拖)us back. We were 53 .
Now, every year when my husband pulls our camper out of the garage, we are filled with
A sense of 54 , wondering what camping fun and 55 we will experience next.
