Isabels Buddy (My Brother) haggled on the boys and i ALL night about sleeping in the tent and complaining when we went in. The boys picked at me off and on before and after Megan Stokes and Ashley Lauren Hepworth departed... After Ashley departed, Darrell, Isabel and Gabe climbed in the tent to organize the pallets and sleeping bags... Then, Gabe started nagging Alex Stokes about leaving the camp to go home and sleep. Well, I said, Alex, I will SLEEP in the tent too if you stay. He agreed, I had planned to stay up till dawn by the fire... We climb in... Gabe is acting a fool while Alex and I are trying to get situated... Isabel is on her dads IPhone playing games and laying next to him snug and warm. A few minutes later... Gabe, Alex and I are fighting the tree roots under the tent. And, trying to utilize the minimal blanket coverage we have to stay comfy and warm... Meanwhile, Isabel and her dad are living it up like they are at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, Vegas... An hour later, Gabe and I go up to my dads to drop some stuff off and so he can SNEAK a bath... Finally, when Gabe and i return, we get sorta situated in the tent... A bit later, Isabel starts pushing the issue that she wants to go home to Pepaws to sleep.. So, Darrell loads her up and they depart. Well, when they depart, Gabe gets a BRILLIANT idea to steal ALL the remaining covers from Darrell minus one or too for him. Gabe and Alex start repositioning the blankets and sleeping bags again... I crawl over to where Darrell was laying... I lay down, under me I feel his military issued air-mattress. OMG! No wonder ole Boy was quiet, NOT complaining, happy as Santa in a BLIZZARD! That thing was VERY comfortable! Well, fifteen minutes later, THEY return, Isabel climbs back in the tent. I asked her, Why are you back? I thought you were staying... She says, I made a deal with daddy. He gives me the air-mattress and i would stay ALL night. :-) She says, It was my plan all along. I said, Smart. Anyway, ten minutes pass, Darrell and Isabel get comfy again... Alex, Gabe and i fight the roots, covers and sleeping bags... I get almost comfortable with only one root in my back and I hear, Dad, Im going to Pepaws. Yeah me too daddy. That was Gabe, then Alex giving up... Then Isabel says, Daddy, take me too. I want to go back and sleep at Pepaws too. HELP Tom Cruise!!! Darrell sighs, but gets up and shuttles the three of them back... Meanwhile, Dolly and LiL Bit (My Dogs) are outside in the lawn chairs chilling out. Like drinking cokes, chopping wood and roasting hotdogs... :-) I lay down, build a colossal sleeping area. Five minutes later, Darrell shows up by himself... ALL IS GOOD... Darrell lays down on his EXECUTIVE sleeping resource and we laugh and talk a few minutes... He falls asleep like a LION at a cow factory after a nice meal... I fall asleep afterwards, between him cutting logs. He can SNORE! I wake up around 2am, my feet are froze, my back feels pierced from roots... And, well, my brother is still snoozing like a little fat piggy! :-) I drift in and out of sleep, never too deep... Darrells snoring, the dogs barking occasionally, frozen toes, Bigfoot walking in the nearby woods, and the roots in my back.... I think around 5am, I may have got twenty solid minutes of sleep. I woke to the sound of a huge bird chirping and my brother snoring even louder! By 6am, I had enough fun! I crawled out and stood up. My back cracked and I moaned... It was a good night of fun, but the sleeping conditions were NOT good for me. My brother woke around 630am, he was refreshed. He grabbed a fishing pole and drowned a worm. I asked him, How did you sleep buddy? He responded, Very good. An hour later, as the rain came, we loaded up most of our supplies and headed to Pepaws. When we got there, my two sons were fast asleep, warm and dreaming... Polecat
