Ima:Hello. We are the Camper Family. My name is Ima and this is my husband Iam. We met in college at forestry school to be technical. I love the outdoors.....always have. My husband and bestfriend on the otherhand is nutts/ga ga for nature. We had a beautiful ceramony with all of our friends, in a cathedral of trees, on an alter of flowers. He said he had a place up in the mountains....where we could rais a family without the threat of pollution. I had Asthma as a kid......and cleansing my lungs with clean mountain air has all but cured me of it. I want to bring my children up to not only love and respect nature.....but to try and protect it. I sold my little condo in the city and bought some achres of forest and meadow.....the dear and bunnies need space more than I do.

I sold my little condo in the city and bought some achres of forest and meadow.....the dear and bunnies need space more than I do. Ima:Sweetie I do like the place......really!!! It's just that well.....I thought I was selling my condo to move into a cabin. I don't mind letting Bambi & Thumper have the land....... Had I known I was moving into a tent with an outhouse......I doubt I'd have been so eager. I love you Iam. But what about having kids? We can't raise them in a tent!!! I'd hate to think of them going to school and the teacher asking them if they were raised in a barn.

Iam:Why so honey?

Ima:They're going to have to say "nope....we were raised in a tent". Think of the stigma.

Iam:Just give it a try honey. If you still feel the same......I'll build you a stinkin cabin. Happy? Iam:I don't get it.....outdoors was good enough for my upbringing. I am a Camper after all. Mom would tell me old Indian stories of the different animals and sang songs in front of the campfire. I was warm from a combination of love and a roaring fire. A great life if you ask me. Oh well, anything for my Monkey Face. Ima:I promes to give it a try. I love you so much Iam.....that I'll give anything a try.....so long as we are together. I love the man you are.....and I know that has a whole lot to do with how you were raised. Iam:You'll do that for me? Really? Oh honey that's why I love you so much Monkey Face. Ima:Yes Iam I do and I will....but thanks for saying you love me......I never get tired of hearing it.

Iam:Well in that case......
"I love you Monkey Face"
"I love you Monkey Face"
"I love you Monkey Face"
"I love you Monkey Face"
"I love you Nonkey Face"
"I love you Monkey Face"
Tired of hearing it yet?

Ima:Uh let me think......mmmmm......nope, no way!!!

Iam:(I'll have to surprise her with a party and invite her old neighbors.) Ima:Oh Iam!!!! Oh honey....I can't believe you did this for me. Oh thankyou sweetheart. I love you so much baby. I'm the luckiest woman......I have a big strong Mountain Man with a big soft heart.....my Mush Mountain.

Iam:I've always said "anything for my Monkey Face". But do me a favor......I don't mind you calling me Mush Mountain...... But just please baby don't do it around the other rangers, other people, or even animals; lets just keep that one our little secret. OK? (Later while talking with her friends/ex-neighbors)
Ima:We use less fossil fuels living up hear. And my lungs are loving the clean air. Instead of cleansing my lugs for a few hours while I hike around, I breathe it in ALL night long. Freezia:Yeah I'm happy for you.....saving the Earth rah rah rah. But girlfriend as your friend, have you thought this through all the way? No walls? I can't be the only one who sees it that way. Ima:But it's good for the invornment! I know you think I'm crazy for wanting to live like this..... But Iam is as expert an outdoorsman as they come, and if he says that we can make it work.....I believe him. Freezia:Well go ahead and live out here with the flowers......maybe you can open a flower shop.
(freezia snickers, and her hubby frio in the background shruggs his shoulders in disbelief). (now annoyed with Freezia's tude)
Ima: Maybe I will just do that. After all flowers do grow fuller and healthier out here. Rosa:I'm just as much an environmentalist as the next person......but I'm afraid I'm with Freezia. Camping is great for weekend or as a vacation to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I just don't think it's a practicle way to live......let alone raise children like this. You know it's why even our caveman ansestors had the sense to go live in a cave. Freezia: Hey I didn't know you were an econut too.

Ima: You know Freezia.....maybe that's why you weren't my Maid Of Honor......all the eco jokes! Geeze you can rub me the wrong way sometimes. Ima:Did you guys see one factory on your way here outside the city limits?!?!? Well did you see one of those God awfull things?!?!? Freezia: Well.....no.....we didn't notice any.

Ima: That's exactly why I love it so much......I'll give up a few creature comforts......breathable air is worth it. Tease and make fun of me all you want! (Ima thinks to herself):
Freezia should stop looking at what I don't have and start looking at what I do have; I've got a place to soak in nice warm tub......and I don't have to freez my butt off when I take a midnight "magazine break" it stays fairly warm in the outhouse. We still have the Jeep. Iam seys that we can just jump in and blast the horn to scare away any bears or wolves. We have an ATV to go tooling around on. And there is hardly anywhere on this mountain it can't go. You'd be surprised at how comfy and cozy a tent can be. (Even later that day)(In an unhappy tone)
Ima: Iam.....I have fairwheather friends! Ima: Freezia said we would get arrested and have our baby taken from us by Socail Services! Iam: Who is she to pass judgement? Honey don't worry.....you never thought of her as your best frined anyhow.....and for good reason. Iam:Nobody is going to be arrested. Once we do get you pregnant......and you have our baby......you're going to be a terrific mother......you're so nurturing. Ima: I'm to pretty to go behind bars. I hear women's prison isn't much different then mens.

Iam: Hey don't worry. Besides.....monkeis go to the zoo......not jail......so cheer up Monkey Face. We'll have a meadow full of sprouts in no time.....and nobody will ever seperate us. Just sit back and relax honey.....you'll see it will all work itself out in the end......you'll see I promise.
