Camp Young

Nothing like falling asleep to wolves howling outside your tent.  Dylan asked, “Can they get in here and get us???”  Camping…it’s filled with playing in the dirt, homemade tic-tac-toe games and camp matching games, food cooked over a campfire, s’mores, campfire cake, slightly scary/corny stories being read by lantern light, hiking, exploring, and the best part…seeing your 13 year old son forget how he is trying to appear like a young man and shout, “Yay!” during the handing out of badges and quickly snatch the rock climbing badge that was intended for his 6 year old sister’s sash.  He quickly tried to cover it with a laugh and, “I don’t know what that was about.  I wasn’t even all that excited about it before.”  On the car ride home, the car was filled with talk from the kids about how excited they are to do this all over again!
