Camping

In a couple weeks the boys and I are going to Sault St Marie for a Scout campout. We had planned to borrow a tent, but a shift of double-time and a fear of anything happening to someone else's tent led me to look for one at a reasonable price for us.

Mom, Dad & I went to Dick's Sporting Goods today and found an awesome Coleman 6 person tent on sale for 50% off :-) WooHoo for me!! I should be able to pack everything in my car, so I won't need to pull the utility trailer for this trip, which is good. It helps that two of our meals are included on Saturday, so all I need to pack food-wise is Friday dinner, Sat & Sun breakfast and snacks/beverages. One small cooler, three sleeping bags & pillows, clothes and a little cooler, then we're good to go! I get to save on gas not pulling the trailer, and I don't have to worry about backing the darn thing up! I'm truly not good at that, but that's why they make a wheel thingy for the front, right?

See you all Mother's Day!!
