toedtoes: you make a very good point. We didn't try to chat them up, just waved. But, you could tell it was the kids bothering them. All the parents noticed it, and we told the kids to make sure they didn't run through their camp site.
That is a BIG NO-NO for my kids. They know better, we preach that all the time.
It didn't upset me. I just find it amusing that someone would get annoyed in that situation.
By 9:30pm we made sure the kids were winding down and by 10pm in the camper playing games or watching a movie.
