No parents. and everybody else did it too.<br />We played outside after school too - and never had parents watching us all the time - it's a kind of freedom that most kids today don't seem to get.<br />I'm glad they all came back alive LOL - and I bet they learned a whole lot more than just appreciation for a homecooked meal :p<br />You're a great mom to let them do this. Takes a lot of faith and trust - you've obviously raised a good lot!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149048192796015117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35674839.post-68393624112775880692010-05-22T17:04:10.752-05:002010-05-22T17:04:10.752-05:00Yes, it IS on the calendar as school, Vonnie.

We thought a campout like this would be a great learning experience about history, about how good they have it now and many other life lessons.<br /><br />It wasn't an easy trip for them, or for me and Jim knowing they were out there in the rain, but it was VERY good for them!Patty Wysonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689649950598288481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35674839.post-65584494174526716152010-05-22T17:02:15.772-05:002010-05-22T17:02:15.772-05:00hehe, yep, we are not going to be forgetting this ...hehe, yep, we are not going to be forgetting this trip anytime soon!
