Our ward had a camp out on Friday night. We went to Greenbriar State Park in MD, it is about 40 minutes from our house. We were all excited to go. Once we put our tent up we went swimming for a little while. Then we came back and roasted hot dogs for dinner. It was fun to be with members of our ward. There was a cub scout pack meeting after dinner. Then of course, as with any good camp out, there were smores. The pack meeting started late so Emma, Seth and I went back to the tent about 9:30pm, before everything was finished. While I was in the tent Jacob won a contest where they had the kids put there hands in ice and see who could keep it in the longest. Jacob was beaming that he beat the older boys. He won glow in the dark glasses. Well, that was about the end of the fun. It started to rain about 3:00am, which is not anything bad but then about half an hour later the lighting and thunder started. I do not enjoy thunderstorms when I am in my house, much less in a tent in the woods. Unfortunately, Jacob had inherited that from me. There was talk of driving home but we stayed and were able to make until morning. Seth slept through the entire thing. Emma woke up but was able to go right back to sleep, with her hands over her ears. Jacob, Sean and I did not get much sleep. We all survived and had a good time must of the evening.
