We farmed out our own kids.
We prepared the menu.
Tents and sleeping bags were procured.
Pranks were planned.
Location was reserved.
(Unfortunately, due to security issues,
we stayed in the back of a fenced compound.)
Here are the statistics of the weekend:
Two hundred water balloons
Sixty bananas
Fifty sticks of suya eaten
Forty oranges
Thirty-six Hershey bars
Thirty-three 7th graders (they ALL came!)
Twenty rules given
Fourteen rules broken
Thirteen pounds of rice
Nine tents
Five large containers of water filtered
Four bags of marshmallows roasted
Three adults supervised
Two hours of swimming
One bonfire enjoyed
Zero minutes of sleep
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Gotta go take a nap!

Sounds like fun! (Except for the 14 rules broken.) That's quite some ammo! Glad you had the Hershey bars. Hope you catch up on your sleep!
