Dave and Sullivan put their first camping trip on the calendar early this summer and we did lots of talking about it to Sully in order to prep for the actual outing. As the evening approached, all eyes were on the weather in fear of rain or something worse. Fortunately, August 1st turned out to be a perfect evening to camp.
Greta and I joined them initially to make sure they got the (borrowed) tent set up (our tent is packed away in the storage POD along with so many other things). We then grilled hot dogs and s'mores with them and made our way home when it was close to Greta's bedtime.
Dave and Sully had a great time. They played on the jungle gym, met other campers and grilled jiffy pop before a 9pm bedtime. They had books to read and a comfy blow up mattress to sleep on equipped with all of their favorite things from home. They made it through the night without a hitch and Sully slept until after 8am. The only issue they had was that Sully wasn't ready to come home the next morning. It was a success. Dave is scrambling to get another camping date on the calendar before October.
