Sat Night, Sunday..... So Long Scoutland!

Ok, Seriously, lights out at 10pm on a saturday night and we were wrapping up at 10:21 and got yelled at by some uptight mom in the next campsite..... Give me a break! Does that surprise anyone that I got yelled at for talking after lights out??? shouldn't! Oh well.... 10:21pm every night will always bring a smile to my face..... After we got the kids settled I called Kati from our tent on the phone.. I could not get the words out for laughing so hard about getting yelled at... Long into the night were howls from all around us because it was CAMPING ON A SATURDAY NIGHT! We were all in bed but there were many others who were not... Wonder if she went around to all of them to tell them to be quiet??


The boys were exhausted anyway and we were not moving to quickly by that point.... We knew that we had a lot of packing up to do and had to leave before noon in the morning so we all crashed.

Part of the boys "chores" was to gather wood for fire and to go get water. Water was not the easiest task and the first time they were very excited to do it, each time after it got a little harder but never once did they say no.... They had fun tending to the fire...
Packing up on Sunday was not bad and the van did not have as much in it coming home because we did not have the wood that we had coming down. We also did not get lost going out and that made the trip home much shorter than on Friday.

The boys were upset to be leaving but calmed down and played with the walkie-talkie's between the two vans...... A shower was in all our futures and boy it was nice to get home. We stopped for something quick to eat and said our goodbyes to the S's who continued on home...... Cold and dirty but fun was really had by all...

What I like about camping is you can get really dirty.
Either you're all by yourself, so no one else sees you,
or everyone you're with is just as dirty
as you are, so nobody cares.
