Update: John just came home and told me a funny conversation he had with Jack in the tent last night. Jack asked, "Daddy, can we have a real adventure the next time we go camping?" John asked him what a real adventure is. "You know, like when you catch a fish for dinner," was his reply. Ha!
Yesterday morning, John packed the tent and the sleeping bags and took the boys to First Landing State Park. They played on the beach all day long. Near dinner time, I arrived with the supplies for a campfire dinner. We roasted hotdogs and s'mores and set up the campsite. Then we took one last walk along the beach before bedtime. Luke and I got into the van and headed to our beds at home. John and Jack spent the night in the tent. It was Jack's first time to make it through the night. When they have tried camping in the backyard, Jack has always asked to come inside. Last night, I got the message at 9:25 that he was asleep. If the chatter the whole way home from Luke is any indication, it was a truly magical day for the boys.
