Well, this past weekend, fiance and I took her 8yr old camping with Cub Scouts.
We went to a park, with lots of other families and had a good time.
Drawbacks were that since it was Cub Scout.. no beer flowing. Also... no smoking. Some that may have been park rules too.
Highlights, no one really got hurt. Early on, one boy slipped in rock filled parking lot and scrapped his knee up pretty good. After that, no other injuries. Fiance was fine with the camping. Had battery operated fans in the tent so she wouldn't be too hot sleeping.
I later on found out that after certain time on Saturday night, that scout time was over. So, some parents had beer in other glasses (good thing there was a gas station within a mile down the road).
I took 2 cigars cause I didn't know if I could find time to smoke. Well, Saturday night, an RV next to us, 2 guys were out, and notice one smoking a cigar. So, there I go lighting one up and I share the other. When I get ready to go, each of them hand me a cigar.
So, all in all.. nice great family time weekend!
