Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Sounds like a nice quiet vacation for dad, no wife, no kid

Family togetherness!
I’d like these holydays! But it’s realy not so easy to do it right for everyone!

Why are they there if they didn’t “vote” on the trip anyway?
Our family always decided TOGETHER on where we went for vactions!!!!

Perhaps Calvin could get Hobbes to play “shark” to scare them out of the lake…

Poor dad! Camping is supposed to be fun and relaxing, using nature to entertain you and not TV and video games.

The family together… against you.

Calvin always comes up with his tongue-in-cheek remarks.

That “vacation at the motel” idea is sounding better all the time… for everyone else.

Dad just wants to chill on his vacation.

Camping = cooking and washing dishes outdoors in the dirt with no hot water; hiking all afternoon keeping track of the kids while Dad goes fishing; being out in the woods for a week to ten days with no way to get clean but jumping in a icy stream or lake. Ahh, the great outdoors!

I want to go to Italy for my vacation (for about the 4th time) and so do husband and the kids :D Maybe next year…
Camping - nooooo!

I swim in the lake around here at times wearing a partial
wet suit.

Calvin reading? Go camping……one way to get his nose in a book.

Dad needs to understand that family is always together anyway. This is a time when he should enjoy what he likes rather than expect the other way around. I would rather enjoy this with some of my friends and have a great time indulging in pristine nature!!

And what the family is going to like best is the ride home.
Linda Arney said, about 4 hours ago
and yet more character-building…but they are all chillin’ anyway. When was the last time Calvin was voluntarily reading anything? Without being forced?

Our lakes are deep, spring feed, with an iceberg sitting the middle.
Good way to freeze your b…s off.

Yesterday was the funeral of one of our Green Mountain Boys killed in Afghanistan.
The news said that one of his philosophies was “Life should have a little Calvin and Hobbes in it.”
I feel it here.
Peace and Long Life \\//_

They were just discussing that on the radio and there are some camping grounds that have showers and the like right there, so I think it’s gotten much better for those of you that like the outdoors, but like the convenience of being able to get clean too! :)

To all those who thought that Camping was forcing Calvin to do reading that he wouldn’t have if he were home…
It’s most likely a comic book.
And, knowing how much cats love water (NOT!), I don’t think you could bribe Hobbes enough to get in the frigid water to play shark just for a trick on dad.

When I had to take some days off not knowing how many at the time didn’t take near enough off though had to because had to keep hours short, we didn’t go camping far from that. Hubby and I went to MO for fun and walked the strip seen a lot of shows had fun. Then died that night from exhaustion. Best time we had and I want to do it again if I can ever get a full time job. I might have to wait unless I have to have work done on my tail bone for a pinch nerve, could use that but sad part where I like to go won’t be open for business.:(
Nice to see Calvin read. Dad is trying to get them involved if only he would listen then he could be miserable and mom and son happy.

I’d be in there with dad. Since I live on a lake I use every opportunity to be in it, especially after mowing the lawn or pulling weeds. It takes a lot to make water to cold for me to at least get in for a few minutes. My wife used to be a competitive swimmer so she is in the lake more often than I, but unlike me she is a bit more adverse to joining me when the water temp drops.

You can tell this is an old strip - nowadays any kid swimming in a lake would have a wetsuit.
