Camping Stream of Consciousness
Dirty cheetos, s'more induced mania for Tanner, dirt, sleeping chaos, Jake's first kickball game, bottles out of a thermos, dirt, fascination with the porta potty, hot cocoa but only eating the marshmallows, constant surveillance- keeping Tanner out of the fire pit and away from the river's edge, lots of wet wipes, dirt, tired kids, even more tired parents, dirt, four people in a queen size airbed that quickly lost air and nobody in the crib, cold night- not enough blankets, lots of laughter, hot cocoa first thing in the AM ("breakfast in tent" for Marisa), owies, dirt, 20 miles down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, "Can you believe we live in IDAHO?", 8 person tent suddenly seems small, (dirty) crayons everywhere, Tanner pointing at the moon incessantly and saying "Ball, ball, ball!", helpful camping neighbor bringing me coffee when he overheard me telling Jake that I forgot to pack it, dirt, coming back to the camp after washing dishes to find a different camping neighbor holding Faith while Brian balanced TJ on his shoulders, set up and take down being a lot harder with only one person doing it, dirt, really cold/refreshing river, Tanner and Faith snuggling in bed like an old married couple, Jake loving the idea of s'mores but really only eating the plain, cold marshmallows, Tanner into EVERYTHING, Faith taking it all in... a really good time.
