How funny! I can definitely see us doing that!

Also funny because I saw your van when we attended the Bibleman event on Friday!

Hope the hotel was worth it! Have a great holiday.

My eldest has never forgiven me for the time he and his dad turned up at school one evening for a meeting - a week early! He was mortified especially as other people were there for something else. Boy did I feel silly but I had a great laugh.

Thanks for making me smile.

I'm blogging about frugal hols this week as we can't afford to go away but we are having a no-cost or rather a cost of petrol only weekend away to the bright lights of London this summer.

Oh, man. I've actually done that before. On the first day (or so I thought) of my sophomore year of college, I arrived bright and early for my 8 am class. I walked the entire length of campus, from the parking lot to the lecture hall. I noticed that the campus seemed unusually deserted... but I managed to convince myself that it was simply because not many people had signed up for 8 am classes. Later, I felt so stupid (how did I get accepted into college anyway?).

I assume you were at least smart enough to figure it out at the camp entrance?

I'm sorry to laugh, but that was FUN-NY! It would have been even funnier had you been a week LATE only to discover you missed the whole thing.

That may have been one of the funniest things y'all have done (that you've blogged about). Hil.ar.i.ous.

Since we live at a summer camp, I'm laughing even harder.

Good times.

not surprised at all... just shows how organized you are, able to get out a day early and all. makes perfect sense to me.

Oops, you can remove two of my comments. I didn't think they were going through so I kept trying. Serves me right for calling YOU that family ;-)

I am having such a grumpy day - everyone goes on holiday except us, everybody does wonderful family outings (it is mid-winter and pouring!!!) except us, everybody's houses are clean and tidy except us, everybody's children behave perfectly except ours - real gloom and... then you snapped me out if it with a gasplat of laughter - oh that is the funniest thing in the whole wide world... Thank-you, you are a breathe of fresh air!!! I think I can face boring old bath-time now... I'll read it again before I gather my strength to do the dishes!!!

I can so relate to that. Just think of the great story this will make for years to come. A new family legend.
