Kids eat lunch and go down for naps...kicking and screaming. 3 hours pass and Dad still has not convinced them to go to sleep. He finally gives up.
Mom FINALLY returns, and everyone finishes preparing for our camping trip...kicking and screaming.
We get to the campgrounds much later than anticipated. We eat a quick dinner (fast food), then get the camp site set up. We play on the playground. Maliya suddenly announces that she is tired and ready for bed. Mom takes her, washes her up, brushes her teeth and gets her into the tent. Then it's Rachel's turn. Once Rachel is ready for bed, Maliya is nowhere near sleep and is saying that she is done sleeping and is ready to play again. "Not happening," says Mom. The kids go to bed...kicking and screaming. It takes hours. Mom and Dad try everything. Finally, at about 11, the kids give in to their exhaustion and fall asleep.
About a half hour later, Maliya wakes up kicking and screaming that she needs to go home! This wakes Rachel up. Mom gives in and takes the kids home...kicking and screaming... to sleep in their beds. The kids cry and panic that Dad got left behind, all alone. The kids finally fall asleep in their beds around 1 AM. They wake up in the morning around 9. Mom and the kids get dressed and head back up to the camp grounds. They arrive at about 10, and make breakfast... pretending they had stayed there all night. :)
After breakfast, Mom and Dad take the kids on a "nature walk"...kicking and screaming.
Then the kids play on the playground a bit. Mom and Dad pack up camp, and take the kids home...kicking and screaming.
It was a screaming good time!
