Yip our household is buzzing today... and no it's not the sound of bees...it's pure excitement from one little guy all about his school camp out tonight. He has been counting sleeps all week and now the day has arrived. I don't know how much school work will get done with all the excitement though.. hehe.
So we've started gathering our supplies together:
1x tent.... had to borrow from a friend as we don't possess one... Thanks Karin & Brian
3x sleeping bags & pillows
some blankets/duvet inners to put under the sleeping bags... to make a mattress link feeling (ie help give us a softer sleep)
Food.... Keith is organise this... thanks!... plan to make hamburgers for supper
Juice to drink... must remember to pack from the fridge too
Mosquito repellant... NB!!! Don't want to get "carried away" hehehe
Torches... remember the batteries
Chairs
Sleeping togs
Toothbrush
Oh and I'm sure there will be lots more thrown in too... all this for ONE night at the school... and me who doesn't DO camping... hehehe.... amazing what we will do for our kids.
So please pray very hard that it doesn't rain tonight.... Aaron had even asked earlier this week "what happens if it hails?"
well my feeling is "we pack up and go home"....
"NO Mommy, we sleep in the hall then. We must wake up at school in the morning"
.... so reckon we will be staying over no matter the weather! Wish me luck.
ps... there will be hot chocolate and marshmellows on sale so reckon that's also a good incentive to go!

Thank you for your comments in my blog, Happy halloween.ciaooo
From one non camper to another....I take my hat off to you. I wouldn't do it, not even for my little one! Timeshare is my form of camping. I alway forget something!
What a lovely idea and I can just imagine Aaron leaping with joy as the great camp-out day has arrived. Hold thumbs that those hail stones keep away. So whats wrong with camping ... I would have been in my element sleeping under the stars rather than in a tent though. Enjoy.
Oh how sweet - ONE night under the stars for a child is like heaven on earth - Hope he enjoyed it ...
Love, Tracy G
