Outdoor plans

Mom’s big plan for spring break is to take Boyen camping down in Shawnee National Forest. Corwin’s Boy Scout troop has been discussing having a camping trip down there and Mom decided she should scout it out and get some camping time in. The boys are about as excited as you would expect given they’ll be hiking 4-6 miles every day.

On the other hand Mom has been able to buy some camping gadgets (like a high grade water filter). We already had a new tent which had been buried in the garage so she’ll be taking that (it’s big enough to squeeze all three of them in it). Mom of course has been doing tests on the water filter with the help of the boys. So far it seems successful. This means that the stove top espresso maker I got for Mom a while back will get some real use. That will also raise the boys’ chances of survival.
