Imagine..........

..........packing for an outside adventure for 7 people. Like Perry says, "We'll pack what we think we need. Put it all in the suburban. Drive to our destination. Realize we forgot many things and go buy them."



But, I'm hoping to prove him a little wrong for the sake of saving some money so I'm packing......



7 pairs of sandals

7 pairs of water shoes

7 pairs of regular shoes

7 life jackets

7 boxes of food (my mom's jaw dropped when she saw them all lined up nice and neat)

7 sleeping bags

7 pillows

7 sleeping pads

7 bicycles

7 helmets

7 bicycle bags

7 bags of clothing

7 paddles

5 kidlets

2 bottles of sunscreen

2 bottles bug spray

2 DVD Players

2 Zunes

2 canoes

2 suburbans

1 refrigerator

1 microwave

1 light

1 really big first aid kit

1 husband

and a gazillion paper products and books for every one's reading delight


And...........lots of other miscellany.

The fun has only just begun. We are headed out just as soon as we get the 2 canoes and bicycles on.

As an aside......Please pray for my mom on Tuesday. She will have the cancerous part of her liver taken out at 7:40 a.m.
