A Midnight Scare: Protecting My Kids on a Family Camping Adventure

Last weekend, I took my two little ones on a camping trip deep in the Southern Utah mountains. The crisp air and starry skies made for a magical evening—until I was jolted awake in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps near our tent. Two unfamiliar men were outside, and my heart raced as I quietly checked on my sleeping kids. In that moment, every protective instinct kicked in. I stayed silent, listened closely, and waited until they moved on before I could finally breathe again. It was a powerful reminder of how vulnerable we can feel as parents, especially when we're out in the wild. Have you ever faced a situation that tested your courage while caring for your family?
