This week, one of the main event preparations I had to make was getting the tent seams sealed for the season. This involves actually setting the tent up. Colin was all over that. So were all his friends, and before long, so were all THEIR friends. At one point we had over a dozen kids buzzing around the house, poking in and out of tents and playing fortress games.
It reminded me of when I was a kiddo and my parents would let us set things up like that in the yards or basement. So much fun - I think that's part of the reason I love camping. He was having so much fun, I almost didn't want to pull him away for dinner. Anyway, just before running back outside after dinner to rejoin the fray, he looked at me and his mother and said "This has got to be one of the best days of my life!"
Ain't life grand?
