Have I got a summer soundtrack for you! It is an instant family camping classic! My husband heard a review of the Okee Dokee Brothers latest album Can You Canoe on NPR and being the wise man he is downloaded it from iTunes before the review was even over.

It is the perfect music to play in the car on the long drive to a camping adventure and has the perfect songs to learn for singing around the campfire. My husband already has the title track down on guitar and I happily have the song playing on repeat in my head. Every song on it is a treasure. I like to think that twenty years from now these songs will instantly transport my boys back to this special, happy, simple time of family camping and discovering the wonders of the natural world.
