The only tough time was the first night when we had some, um, difficulties going to sleep. Clara would fall asleep, only to be awoken by Molly who was way too antsy to settle in. So Clara would scream, Molly would shout, and it then Clara wouldn't go back to sleep unless we were right there with her. We all finally went to sleep together at about 10:30. Phew!
The second night went much smoother. Zach lay down with Clara and I went for a nice walk with Molly. Then Molly & I made tea and watched the stars. She fell asleep rocking on my lap in the Crazy Creek chair. It was incredibly sweet.
The other wonderful thing about the preschool campout is that all the kids know eachother. It's like a huge playdate for them. I loved watching the roaming packs of kids having awesome adventures with whatever they found. There was also a little playground, but after a few minutes climbing and sliding the kids gravitated towards the sand and back to the field.
