This is the draft notification I left in Mason’s room the night before boot camp. He showed up, dressed in a suit and tie, at 0700 sharp the next morning. I didn’t think he would take the 7am thing seriously!! Even though Frankie doesn’t typically fall asleep until 1 or 2AM, there was no way I could turn down his enthusiasm. Next year boot camp starts at 0900! :)

Have you ever wondered what’s in a MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat)? We sampled a breakfast and main course MRE. The kiddos, of course, thought the food was appalling, but they loved the “oven!” If your kids have never tried one of these it is a MUST DO!
