Camping weekend

Here are the packs lined up by the front door.  
They represent a lot of forethought and planning.
Using a document Hubby named "The Scoop Sheet",  we pull clothing and equipment for each trip.  The sheet lists what to do up to a weekend beforehand.  It lists the activity, who is in charge, the phone numbers, the place to "show up" and "show down", and a detailed list of what to bring. It's actually a pretty impressive document that leaves no question unanswered and allows us to make sure our boys get to the right place with the right stuff.  This time, I sat with Bubbie and went over it with him completely - so that row of backpacks you see?  Two of them were ready Thursday afternoon before Dad got home - a first!  Considering they camp about twice a month, that's huge!
Much as I hate an empty house, I know they learning and growing as young men.  And I know they will have a great time doing it.
