Tomorrow, Connor, Rowen, and I are going camping with their Cub Scout Pack. Last night, Janelle and I purchased new sleeping bags (20 degree bags), a sleeping roll, and a cot (for me). We haven't used our tent in a number of years, but it should still be fine--although I will be bringing extra tarps just in case. It's supposed to be dry, if not sunny tomorrow, but the site might still be wet from today and tonight's rain.
Tomorrow, after school, we plan to pack up our equipment, pick up any last-minute items from the store, and head to the campground. There, we will set up our tent, have dinner (campfire calzones) with the Pack, and participate in activities. Hopefully, the night will go smoothly. The plan is to have breakfast with the Pack, clean up, and leave before noon on Saturday.
I have to admit to being a little apprehensive about the whole thing. The boys have not been camping since the summer before Katrina's senior year when she was at Interlochen for marching band (or was it the year before?). I did not enjoy the experience (which is why we haven't had the tent out for so long). I'm hoping that tomorrow night will be a positive experience for boys, but also for me. I liked camping when I was younger, and I would like to have favorable opinions about it again.
