Camping was the last thing I wanted to do when I came home from college for the summer.I wanted to relax, be lazy, and hang out with some of my friends from high school. Instead, I had gotten roped into a family camping trip with my mom, stepdad, and little brother, Henry.Technically, since I was twenty, I probably could have put my foot down, but Mom would have been all ‘my house, my rules,’ so I kept my mouth shut. I figured it was only two weeks out of the summer wasted.Since I loved hiking, it wouldn’t be all bad. I just needed to go off on my own to enjoy nature. I loved my little brother, but he was five, so he was going to slow us down. He was also a little spoiled.Mom and Jack were already bickering as we packed the car. Henry and I stood off to the side, not wanting to be there, but also not wanting to get involved.First, they argued about the way to pack the car, and then it was as if we had enough food. Lastly, it was whether to bring bedtime pull-ups for Henry.Jack
