lull

Sam went to his first Klondike last weekend. I, myself, spent about six hours packing for him. The list(s) were crazy... two wool hats, two wool sweaters, six pairs of wool socks, four pairs of pants, plus thermals(for an overnighter!)not to mention all the little survival tools that had to be rounded up from all corners of the house: matches, first aid, whistle, flashlights, and of course food. I gathered as much as possible, packed it all tightly so he could "backpack" it in. SOo after all that, he came home the next day In The Same Exact Clothes he went in, slept in, wore all the next day. EW. Boys are gross. I guess I thought his Dad would make sure he actually Used everything I packed for him. Well, they both said Sam had a great time. Yes, he was freezing, but he cant wait to go again.
