The Baby Deer This was the first time we'd taken our children camping. They were about five and three. The kids had a marvelous time with it. Early one morning we decided to go for a walk along the trails. Our son spotted a couple walking a puppy that looked like a Chihuahua, except it had long, spindly legs. (Sorry, I'm not much of an authority on dogs. ) He got all excited and said, "Look, a baby deer!" Our daughter got excited as well. They stood there, staring at the puppy like this was an amazing thing. The couple were really sweet and let the kids look at the puppy, and didn't spoil the kid's "discovery".
That's my favourite camping story.
