This past week Matt had Friday off, so he decided to take the boys out camping on Thursday night. They were quite excited (Jake in particular) about this adventure, with Jake declaring that it was going to be a "very special treat"! Bentley was a bit concerned about leaving the cat home alone (the cat normally sleeps with Bentley), but Jake persuaded him to go. I heard them in their room talking the night before the trip:
Bentley: "but I'm scared... !"
Jake: "why?"
Bentley "what if the bears or the moose get us?"
Jake: "there aren't bears or moose at camp grounds, Bentley!"
(nice one, Jake!)
Bentley: "I don't want to sleep outside!"
Viva: "you won't be outside, you'll take the tent and sleep in it"
(very practical, that girl)
Anyway. They made it out. I am always surprised how much prep time it takes to get everything together, but hopefully now that we got it all out once and in the same place... it will be quicker next time, right?!
They had great weather, sun and not a cloud around. The first campground they tried was full (Memorial Day weekend), but the next one was not! They set up the tent, threw rocks in the lake, ate some steak and smores, played some games, read some stories... and had a great time from all the reports I've heard back. They are excited to go back out!
