Hope everyone likes rain! Seriously, please keep this in mind when you're packing things for your children. I've heard about parents who have sent their kids to camp with no rain gear and even no extra clothes. I know that none of you would ever be so neglectful, but really, guys, let's think ahead and consider the needs of your kids while packing this evening.
It does look like the weather will taunt us on Friday with sunniness, but for the most part, it's rain city. Luckily, camp goes on anyway. There are activities to do inside, but for all in all, we're going to keep on trudging right through it. Have ponchos, trash bags, whatever you think you might need for three days outside in wet weather. Send plenty of clothes, shoes, and we will take care of the rest.
I've told the kids to be careful; people get excited and we almost always have injuries of some kind. It's just a fact of life. But if we have our heads on, things will go much more smoothly.
Most of all, be prepared to have fun. If you are one of the ones who is coming with us, we TRULY APPRECIATE YOU! You have a special place in our hearts, not to mention some of that good Carter Karma. (Heh.) It will be worth your while.
As long-time Friend of 5-1 Jill Pitz put it last night, the rain will "just add to the stories." And who knows what the weather will actually be like. But as we know from the Scouts, it's always best to be prepared.
