A funny experience that Janet recalls is a time when she and her sister, Carrie was home with their mom when mom decided she wanted to go camping.
The family got all ready and packed the pop-up camper. The girls giggled so much they moved to the car to sleep. Then their mom and dad could sleep. Needless to say the sisters didn't get much sleep in their parents car either.
