Packing is a test of endurance

I HATE packing. Charley is taking the kids camping and in a way I am wondering if I am preparing them for the the 'trip from.......' The weather prediction is looking bleaker. They are calling for cold evenings and chances of rain. Then there is the gas price to consider. We are spending how much money to go freeze in Northern Michigan????? Their consolation I guess is that they always eat like kings when they are camping. We make food that we never make at home. I think I do that because there has to be SOMETHING to look forward to if the conditions go south.

The kids seem pretty focused at the moment so I better not get too sidetracked in writing about not getting sidetracked. Eyes rolling.
