I still don't camp well. I wimped out on the second night of our family campout and Geoff the Great
drove me home to sleep in my own cozy bed. And I'll tell you
what... you never know how excellent a toilet is until you go without
one for a couple of days.
Anyways, the first day we arrived at the family camp site I had a predictable "Jen Moment". It's always something....
It all started with this enormous tree swing tire. I should have
learned my lesson with tree swings after my last near death experience,
but I'm a bit slow and it takes me a couple of tries to catch on to the
obvious. Anyhow, this tree swing is the grandpappy of all tree
swings, I don't know what possessed my to do this, but with all the
kids egging me on (my kids and our friends kids), I slowly climbed up
the cliff that the tree swing hung over. I started to chicken out, but
I confess, I caved in to the peer pressure of the gawking crowd (that
grew very quickly). They were expecting a jump, so I was
obligated to give them one.
So with great courage and determination, white-knuckled, I clutched the
tire and flung myself sideways off the cliff. I knew at that
moment I was in trouble. Screaming, flailing and kicking I was
finally slammed into the side of the mountain where my pants were
promptly ripped right down to my knees. All in front of my
horrified audience. Yep, I should have surely seen that one
coming. What's worse, it was caught on video. Which I will
not be sharing. Ever.

Oh, too, too funny. I too have caved to the egging on peer pressure- but am blessed to have never split my pants while doing it! We go camping- we even go camping in a tent. I just won't go camping without my super-de-duper over 2 ft. high Coleman queen air mattress. Um, and the handy-dandy battery-operated air pump. Forgot that once- let's just say you really can't blow up that much mattress with your own hot air. Really- you can't.

All I can say is HA, HA, HA... that is hysterical. I am still laughing.
It is nice to know there are others who get laughed at as much as me.
