We made it 3.5 hours!!!
For the record I would just like to state I was in it to see it through.
We had everything we could possibly need! The tents were set, the sleeping bags were unrolled and the girls had all their little comforts of home from special pillows to their favorite toy. They loved running around the cabin area and going in and out of their little 'house'. They were layered in warm clothes, knee high socks, mud boots and a turtle necks. These garments were all doused in bug spray and they had the freedom to explore and enjoy the outdoors. The fire was set and we were ready to put the hot dogs on until...
Todd had retrieved some longer sticks for late night smores. This is when the tick was discovered on his pants. OK lets pack em' up. Down the hill we came bumping and bouncing all the way down. Reagan was upset, it was dusk and windy the trees brushed against her window. 'Hold my hand Daddy!' 'I don't like this, I don't like this.' she kept saying.
The house was insight and Reagan made one last statement. 'thank you for keeping me safe Daddy.' Makes your heart feel all warm doesn't' it.
We opened the truck and spilled into the drive and shuffled into the bathroom to make sure no one had any ticks on them.
All three girls were bathed and scrubbed and powdered to smell the like the sweet little flowers they are, everyone had some hot milk and off to bed.
Phew...
