Was fortunately uneventful.
Friday, I got the kids to school by 730 so that I could help with the volunteer faire. That lasted until about 930 am before I headed into work. I worked until it was time to pick up Peyton. At pick up, we saw H’s mom, who thanked Peyton for being a nice friend trying to help H overcome her change in routine nerves (crying). H’s mom was hoping they wouldn’t get sick of each other being in class, and two basketball leagues together. On the way home, I asked P if that was going to happen, and she said, “No.”
Dave was home already by the time I got back. I had Peyton shower up, while I packed and then showered as well before going back to get Brandon. When I got back with Brandon, Dave already had Peyton in the car and ready to go. We headed out to beat the traffic. Peyton fell asleep for a bit, but woke up when we got to the grocery store to get some last minute items. I asked her if she wanted to stay in the tent again with Mckayla, but she said she wanted to not talk all night long, so she said she just wanted to sleep with me. But then, she said, “Oh, but HE (daddy) snores! Can I just sleep by myself in my own tent?” She is getting braver! We got up to the site and set up shop. Soon after, the Brown’s arrived and the kids had more playmates. We didn’t stay up too late, though it was later than usual for the kids. We had hot dogs, hamburgers and burritos that first night. We had glow sticks as well! Dave did snore overnight, and it kept me up most of the night. Then, when he wasn’t snoring, the crows were cawing! The kids were mostly up at the same time, and soon, we started our day with eggs for breakfast. We hung around the campsite and the Kao’s arrived. We had sausages for lunch before heading out for a nature talk with the ranger on survival. The first half was in a picnic area, while the second portion was a short hike to props and stations the ranger had hidden over time to show his stuff without anyone disturbing it. Peyton and I hung out and stayed for the second portion, while Bonnie and Michelle took their kids back. I wanted Peyton to listen for the girl scout aspect, so she could be more exposed to these types of things. She was worried about walking far, but we didn’t go very far. We learned how to distill water, about the bugs that were out there as well as animals. She hung in there and was able to lead us back to camp. She was happy to be back with her friends, and I think it perked her up a bit. We played some more before it was dinner time. Kira, Ian, Chris and Kathy showed up right before dinner time. Kira had a soccer game, so that threw off their timing.
The chicken took a bit longer to cook, so dinner was bit later than usual, but s’mores came right up after that! I think because half of us had stayed overnight the first night, they kids were more tired out. They only needed me to tell them not to talk 3 times before actually going to sleep so that I could go return to the adults. We stayed up until after 11 pm, then turned in. I slept in with Peyton until after 7 am! She didn’t hear Brandon and Dave get out. Both needed to use the restroom; I heard them leave, but I was trying not to get up as I knew it would wake Peyton up. Peyton was very brave and went to the restroom most often by herself. At dusk on the first night, she was going to go without a light, and then Brandon was going to go with her. He changed his mind, and she was going to set off before turning around and asking, “Aren’t you going to come with me?” I really thought she’d go on her own. What I’d told them both was, “If it’s light outside, you can go on your own. If it’s dark, ask Daddy.” Luckily, the bathroom was close enough to the camp site.
Dave was rushing Peyton to finish the puzzle she was working on. She said, “I only have two hands, bro!” Brandon said Ian used “bro” often this weekend. He also said Ian told him not to stress in middle school (Brandon told him he was a bit nervous to start middle school), but he also told him to work hard. I hope that settles in for him!
Here are the pics I took:
