This year, we made some changes and are fortunate to have another motorhome in the family, so we went to Lake Lincoln, MS with 2 motorhomes, a boat and a SUV. We had a lot of fun this year. When we got home, unpacked and sat down to dinner, we talked about the trip. I saw a movie a long time ago, I don't remember much about it except that it was Michelle Pfifer (I think) and Bruce Willis and at the family dinner table they talk about their days "highs" and "lows". I love that idea and my kids are now old enough to actually remember their days and pick out the high parts and low parts, so we do this pretty regularly at our dinner table. Back to our after camping dinner, we asked what the highs and lows were for ...
