The right call

Tonight I was supposed to take Ben camping with the scouts. ‘Supposed to’ meaning we ended up not going. It is Cub-O-Ree in our district where the entire pack, regardless of age, goes camping. It ends up being a ton of kids running & screaming through the campsite, tripping over tent lines, and causing stress for the adult scout leaders. Utter chaos. We had a forecast for rain all day and all night, so I was leery to go just for an overnight trip and get wet. When the skies cleared today & the sun was blinding, I thought I had made a mistake staying home. Ugh, what a disappointment. We missed out on camping and having some good father-son time. Now, as I sit here writing this, the torrential rain, thunder, lightning, hail, & high wind make me realize that for once, I made the right call.
