Ten Little Boots
We took two Everglades camping trips, two weekends, back to back. My camping-prep list consists of getting the children’ clothes and accessories squared away in their bags. December 29th, the boots were paired and laced up and contained its sock for its foot… all except Kyle’s. He had just put on his boots to go run errands with Dad only a few days before. Somehow, the lace was pulled out, and the sock and boot were missing.
After looking around and asking the children to put things away so that we can find the sock and boot, I found the missing sock in Kyle’s “miscellaneous” pile of stuff. *sigh*
Finally, when Dad came home and moved a duffel bag over a few more inches than I had moved it hours earlier, we found the boot itself. *whew*
While preparing for our January 7th camping trip, I practiced extreme vigilance during the week, making sure that no socks were lost and no laces were pulled out of boots.
This was my reward:
