We were SUCH inexperienced campers then, that my dh used the car headlights to light our campsite in order to put our tent up in the dark, cook hotdogs on the grill and then proceed to through the leftover ones in the woods behind our tent! We woke up to this choking sound and I thought it was dh struggling. He then said, "No, it's not me, but some animal outside!" Well, Tyler has plenty of raccoons and we fed them well that night. :) <BR/><BR/>It's funny now to think about how dumb we must've appeared to the scout troop. Good times...<BR/><BR/>Another time we camped with the scouts there and it stormed heavily. Out of 30+ campers who packed up in the night due to very bad weather, we stayed. We woke up the next morning being the only ones left in the group. The air mattresses kept us alfloat. :) We then gathered the remains of tents and camping equipment the other left behind. Again, good times...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516007107983191206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135459971489056342.post-80401754695862349592008-11-12T15:28:00.000-08:002008-11-12T15:28:00.000-08:00Debbi--your boys would love it!
