How long does it take the Vanderwests...

...to pack for 4-5 days of camping? Quite a while!! We're getting organized to head up to Silver Lake Monday-Friday. I remember my mom-in-law (mother of six) saying, "Camping - all the work of home with none of the conveniences!" :) She has a valid point! But, we're really looking forward to some time away - just hangin' out with each other. The kids are very excited - have been counting the number of 'sleeps' for a couple of weeks now. We had a great 4th up north at the cabin - we were with our parents and the Panaggios are back in town from Peru (kids ages 14-21) - our kids adore their older cousins. It was great to be with some other family from out of state, too - such nice people! (uncles, aunts, etc.)

Back to packing - Yogi Bear here we come! If you think of anything we must remember, let me know!
