This weekend our stake had a campout. Thinking that would be a fun family outing, we decided to go. Well, I am not so sure about the fun part, but yes it certainly was a family outing. Our kids go to bed freakishly early (like 7 or 7:30) so I knew it could be a rough night. We got up there, set up "camp" and all Claire wanted to do was to sleep (or pretend to sleep) in the tent.
"sleeping" and trying to get Charlotte to do the same.
So I had pre made our tinfoil dinners and after setting up camp, we lit a fire and cooked them.
Notice she is sticking her thumb out? Yep, she burned it. She freaked out so much we had to take her back to the tent cause people thought we were abusing her. As to give people even more reason to think we were beating her...
Doesn't it look like we are having fun?
Charlotte was getting pretty fussy about then so I took her back to the tent to go to sleep (about 8ish).
See.
This is what Claire was doing until about 10:30.
Mac still smiling, what a trooper.
Anywho, our night was cold and uncomfortable (I don't remember not liking sleeping on the ground as a kid...) and started nice and early (6:30) and unfortunatly Claire does not have a "please be considerate of others, it's 6:30 am" voice, so everyone else in the stake had an early morning as well. Breakfast was at 8:30, we were gone by 7:15 and back in bed by 8. Camping- 1, McCann's- 0. We will see you again next year.
So, you officially crack me up! Your sense of humor shows through your post and I totally lol! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe went up for breakfast (Mike worked the night before so that was my cop-out), and missed you! I admire you guys so much for trying.
ReplyDeleteYeah, two kids, two and under and a large group of people. Sounds like fun. Maybe a campout with just your family. Or in 6 years. And with an air mattress.
