Leaving the trailer .

Sounds like a great time by all. Love the story about the mom falling in the mud and realizing the kid needs to have his fun.

I grew up in the boy scouts and tent camping and though we have only been "Glampers" in the travel trailer for a couple years I am afraid it has made me soft. As I have gotten older I have come to appreciate and love sleeping on a (Semi)comfortable bed with out rocks in my back and having a squishy chair or couch to sit on, along with an instant cooking fire from the propane grill/stove/oven or even the microwave when I'm hungry. My twin boys are only four years old and really hope that one day they want to be involved in scouts. Those will be the days and weekends the travel trailer gets left at home and the tents get dusted off. I would have a hard time setting the example by being the only one living a life of luxury inside a trailer while everyone else was out side "ruffing it".

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say anything negative about your post.

the kids were the fun part , they were all drowned rats , soaked , playing kickball in the rain ,and mud , climbing trees took them in groups of 7 fishing and didnt leave till each one caught a fish ( I think the same fish got caught 15 times) . Smores in the rain are messy , but at that point the kids were filthy anyway . One Mother kept telling her 6 year old to stay out of the mud , while running over to get him she fell in the mud , she just got up laughing , then told the boy to go play . Best Part was NO ELECTRONIC GAMES ALLOWED . And the kids survived

Would like to commend you for your time you put in with the kids. Thank you
