Husband gone crazy

[rebel beck]

I new my husband has been awful sweet the last few weeks. Last night he said would be great to go camping this weekend, some where close. Of course I said great let's go. He waits a little while and then he states would be nice if my little RA group from church could go 6 boys. Of course I said with the Airstream where are we going to sleep? I just couldn't say NO. So I need all the prayers that the Airstream will survive the trip Or should I say I survive.
It's only one night what could happen?
I just made a reservation and found out there is also a Jack Russell Terrier show going on.
Okay so 150 Jack Russells and 6 boys.

Last year we experienced the little terriers and it was okay. It was fun watching the activities of the day at the show. The more I think about the camp out I get excited most of these boy's have never camped. We are taking the tent, I have to admit it brought back memories when I brought it down from the attic only for a small second.

[rebel beck]

And yes the DH is going to pay, sounds like a few hours working on polishing the trailer.

Becky, I'm sure you will have a great time and will look back on the trip with fondness. That said, I've learned (after a couple of less-than-successful pre-Airstream camping trips) to get all details up front before agreeing to any sort of trip.

Becky,

Be prepared for the next time. Here is a preferred supplier for all your needs.

Glad to help!

I would bargin for one hour per collective age of the boys...

6 boys X 8 years old = 48 hours!

Seriously...have fun!

This should be a weekend full of surprises and loads of fun, especially if some of the boys have never camped. Enjoy!

May the Farce be with you...
I have made decisions with insufficient information, sometimes it works out, sometimes not. Hope this is one of the positive times.

[rebel beck]

Don I love your advice

Becky,
You can sneak into my trailer as I leave on Saturday Morning ;-) That way you could attend the Western Womens Rally.

[maxandgeorgia]

Becky, quick! Take Michelle up on her offer! A Rivettes Western rally and a free trip and your DH has the boys, which he said he wanted. Best wishes, really, for a fun campout ~G

markdoane...you are too funny

[Aria]

The more the merrier. How about a pet for the boys? Kevin is very friendly

Becky, sounds like a lot of fun. When it comes to terriers, regardless of size, I recomend drugs. Either for you or the terrier. Having had experience with all sizes and having owned a Giant Schnauzer I can say the smaller the better. Some say they're high energy dogs... I say they're possessed.

Becky, where are you going camping? Which RV park?

Thanks Jim

You will survive... but take numerous throw toys and balls for the Jack Russell... and medication for what will be a sore arm! Or, each kid must play with the dog for 15 minutes (30 min?) before they are rewarded with food.

Have fun!

I had to abandon ship last night, I had taken my son and 2 of the boys out Thursday night. My husband arrived last night with the four others. I have never in my life seen some of the most disrespectful boys in my life. First of all 2 ran off and it took us about 30 min. to find them. Not to mention just plain not listening. I looked over and one boy was lighting pine needles with the tiki torch. After about 2 hours of this they all decided a movie would be good sound good to me until I found 2 jumping on the front gaucho.
I told my husband good night and headed for home and just pray the Airstream survives.
Never again I have learned a great lesson, camping Airstream style is just for my family.
Next time all the tents will be in tow and not the Airstream!!!!!!!

Shoulda brought the razor wire.

Told ya so.
