Yes, it was chilly overnight. But I survived the Fall Family Campout with Troop 216. Wallace State Park is beautiful this time of year. Wish I had taken a camera for the view of trees around the lake. We had about 60 people total, once we arrived with Dorito in the afternoon. Supper was yummy with chili and several batches of cornbread made by the twins' patrol. Plus cobbler in the cast-iron Dutch ovens. Campfire singing (led by Dorito and the older Scouts) was hilarious, and we all followed with a serious flag-retirement ceremony. The boys ran off to play "Capture the Flag" in the dark and we retired early. Sleeping on cots was better than sleeping on a ground pad. Heard a few noises in the night, but nothing too scary. A big breakfast was our reward, and we were finished in time to get back for late mass.
