I'm going camping!

Well, this weekend is the Mom's weekend.  Once a year, us moms, go camping with our boy scouts, much to their horror!  (my son has forbidden me to bring my knitting, lest I embarrass him!  I'm sneaking it in my pack)

This trip happens to be a canoe trip.  and the weather has gone from 90(record temps for may) to the 50's during the day and 40's at night.  Which brings me to the, 'holy crap, what to pack' section.

For the boys its easy for them.  They pack changes of clothes they never actually change into.  We force them to take warm clothes they would rather freeze to death than put on. 

I consider myself a rather light packer, i pack necessities but also think and look ahead.  This is not my first time in a canoe, or camping.  I have been white water rafting in the Rockies and also backpacked two weeks.  I consider this type of camping, car camping.  If I can see my car, it just doesn't count as real camping :) 

Regardless.  I hit my twitter feed up asking for suggestions.  Hoping I didn't forget anything....tarp...where is my tarp...why do we need a tarp?  anyway

I have, closed toed crocs for the canoe
hiking books recently bought and worn to break in
warm socks, cool socks(knitted of course)
jammes in layers, sweats, tshirt, long sleeve thermal and hoodie
hat and gloves, just in case
jeans, capris, and shorts
rain gear...shoot...where are the pants, I have only found the tops so far...
tylenol, excedrin, allergy meds, and pamprin (you never know)
contact stuff, tooth brush, glasses
flashlight, headlamp
spongbob uno
mess kit
sunscreen
dry bag for my phone and if I can find my camera
oh, I wonder which hat I should wear
sleeping bag, (air mattress and just hush)
camp pillow
camp fan
carmax

now, I know I am forgetting something.  I just dont know what?  and what do I expect?  Will my son embarrass me?  I will tell myself that he will just be acting like the rest of the boys, dumb.  Will the male leaders treat us like stupid moms.  That will annoy me and I dont think so.  I do have a background in camping, heck in the mountains back in Albq where I used to live.  Will my GF tip our canoe?  Will our tent be next to the snoring people?  Why do they have to bugle at 6am?  WE HAVE A BUGLE KID!   

I hope and pray we have fun.  I dont care if it rains...been there done that.  One cub scout camp out had to flee in the middle of a tornado!  I guess I'm excited and nervous? 

Wish me luck, say a prayer  and if I survive this weekend, look for a new posting on how things went, on Sunday or Monday!
