This was me and the boys first time to camp out, and we had a blast. We camped out in a field at the Vinsant’s (family from church) farm. We had hotdogs and hamburgers and then had a singing. After the singing, Mom and Anabelle went back home to the snuggly beds.
We played with some glow sticks for awhile, and then around 11:00PM, we decided to get in our tent and go to sleep. But our tent was near the high pitched girl tent where there giggles and laughter were like the constant noise of crickets or frogs…only louder. But perhaps around midnight, I think we did fall asleep.
Now it did not get very cold…probably in the 50s, but we had forgotten to bring blankets. We had warm clothes and our sleeping bags, but the coldness and the hard dirt made it difficult to sleep. Then Davis woke up around 3 needing to pee, so I walked him out to a good spot to go. Then Sam woke up around 4:30 to go…and I just unzipped the tent door and he peed out the door.
But at 5 oclock the boys were ready to get up, and I sent them to sit around the fire with Mr. Yow who apparently had tended the fire all night. Sam and Davis immediately began to “help” keep the fire going. And Sam really did keep the fire going until we had to leave and get back to the house around 10AM. Before leaving we did get to go pet the horses and chickens. We had a fun time.
