Boys Campout

The boys had planned an overnight campout at the State Park in Bonham. When they showed up they realized that it was a holiday weekend, Davy Crockett weekend (a big deal in these parts) and 2nd weekend Trade Days in Bonham. As a result, the park was full and an alternate site had to be found. After some searching a suitable site was found at the lake north of Honey Grove.

This campground had other campers but a site was found with close access to the restrooms for those late night nature calls. There had been some rain before arrival, so we needed to set up our tents quickly in case the rain returned. Right after the tents went up, the rain started again. One would think the tents would keep us dry, but no.....

The rain kept coming. So much in fact that it filled up Travis' shoes.
Demoralized (and extremely soaked) we packed up our tents and made way to our alternate sight (Mom and Dad's place in Paris). We enjoyed pizza in air conditioned comfort before sleeping in the tents pitched in the backyard. Well, some of us slept in the tents. Dad and Rob found the close proximity of the beds to be too much of a temptation. Corgan didn't settle down too quickly so he and Travis found themselves going inside to go to bed. Jason's fan broke down sometime in the wee hours of the morning and he went inside and slept on the couch. In the end, Michael, Nicholas, Carter and I slept the entire night outside.

While setting up the tents in the backyard, Travis and Michael complained of running into cobwebs. I took a picture of the culprit the next morning.

It is so much easier to cook breakfast in a fully stocked kitchen. The food tastes better too!
Although we spent a lot of this campout indoors, we still had s'mores.
The boys were really tired and fell to sleep quickly on the ride home.
