Taking the Beans Camping

The day we leave for a camping trip I always wonder what all the STUFF is for. This trip is no exception. I made a camping packing list which I have inserted at the bottom for posterity. To add to the complexity of the whole event I decided to bring dinner already made for tonight. I am bringing BEANS while John is bringing bratts, buns and beer. Anyway, Frost is reading the list of things TO DO and I have to run. Wish us a fun trip. I will explain smores to you on our return. Pictures promised.

Here is Wren with one of the many harvests from his tricolor bean patch. He is feeling proud.
