It wasn’t long before we were all in the van, ready to get to our campsite and get it set up before dark. It was a while before Jen and Katie were ready though, since they were talking to Patrick and Glenn.

After waiting about twenty minutes for Jen and Katie, we decided to break out Snack. We opened up a bag of “CRAP” (Chocolate, Raisins, Almonds, Peanuts) and chowed down. We were all really hungry!

Probably ten minutes or so after that, Jen and Katie (finally!) got in the van. They started driving, and we immediately asked for the radio.

Call Me Maybe came on and I was glad that I wasn’t in my normal seat. If I had been in my normal seat, Bruce would have kept hitting my head with his elbow as he danced. (Remember, he was dancing with Luke in the car?)

As soon as the song was over and everyone was done singing, everyone started calling Bruce.

“Hey Bruce, are you still hungry?”
“Bruce, do you want my raisins?”
“So… do you want my raisins, Bruce?”

Bruce sighed and passed his bowl around. When it came back, you couldn’t see the rest of his “CRAP” underneath all of the raisins.

“Why did I tell everyone that I liked raisins? I should have known better.”

I took pity on him and took a handful of raisins from his bowl. Everyone else put Snack away, cleaning up the pieces that had fallen out of their bowls. I slowly munched on the raisins, enjoying my time in the air conditioning.

It wasn’t long before we were pulling off the road onto a little parking lot. There was some gravel, but it was spread around a big area, and there was lots of grass in between it.

“This is where we are sleeping tonight??”
