For Roy’s birthday party this year, he wanted to go camping with his pals. When I saw his guest list, I didn’t think I could pull off a wilderness adventure for a dozen boys, so we compromised with a condo camp out. It was great, we set up 2 big tents for the boys to sleep in, prepared a plate of chili-cheese dogs and chips, then, with the help of several good friends, whisked them off to the pool for the evening. I hoped they would wear themselves out, settle down for a quiet movie and drift off to sleep. What was I thinking!
Four of the boys made the wise choice to go home and sleep in their snug, quiet beds, four more boys wanted to sleep and the last four boys decided there would be no sleep. We made it through the night, after pancakes, music, and a video games, everyone went home jacked up on cake, sleep deprived zombies. We went to the cabin in the afternoon and I checked myself in for a three hour nap. Roy said it was a great birthday.
