 The girls have a Girl Scout camping trip coming up, so we cracked open our tents this weekend to make sure they were still in good shape*. Since the work part was done, we decided it would be a good idea to camp out in the back yard overnight**. Roasting marshmallows and everything***. J1 joined us for the smores but decided since she'll be camping soon enough with the Scouts, she would sleep in her nice warm bed while me and the younger J's braved the suburban wilderness****. It was a blast*****. *Lest anyone get the idea we are outdoorsy people, the tents have been packed away for almost eight years. A camping trip to Ft. Pickens when J3 was a baby was the last time we had them out. **It really was a good idea and we did have fun even if these astricies make it seem otherwise. ***Everything meaning marshmallows and sleeping. No ghost stories though. They creep me out. Seriously. ****Actually, I was going to let them sleep out there alone. Two sisters having fun in the great outdoors. But J1 and her mom (Nana J) had visions of rabid foxes and ax wielding psychopaths invading our back yard so I 'chose' to camp too. *****More like a blast of cold air. Temps around 50 degrees in mid April in Florida. What's up with that? Did I mention we're not really outdoorsy people. I mean we love being outside and playing and biking and beaching. But when it's time to sleep, a bed is nice. Is it wrong for a grown man to admit he's more Eva Gabor than Eddie Albert. ****** ******From Green Acres in case you haven't wasted countless hours of your life watching TV re-runs like I have and are unaware of the great 'Fresh Air' vs 'Times Square' debate. The page I link to will tell you about it and you get an American Gothic parody to boot. Posted by blbutler on April 13th, 2008 Archived under: Color, People, Wordplay |
