Judy had always been the official organizer of all the HAPPY CAMPER trips so this trip was no exception. She got on the phone right away and called their dear friend Patsy. Patsy was missed by all the Camper crew because she lived way down in Alabama, however, she did make it back to Ohio a couple times a year and they were hoping she could make it for the 7 caves day of fun.
Patsy was out walking herself and her dogs when she received the call. She just laughed and said that it sure sounded fun but the kids were off for their summer break and she was hesitant to leave them. After much coercion by Judy, Patsy said she'd see what she could do. Maybe her brother could watch the children for a few days but she wasn't promising anything. Maybe there was a chance Patsy would be there!
Judy then called Aunt Shirley. She had not gone with them to the caves the first time around. Maybe she would like it. She was part of the Happy Campers from time to time and was always partnered up with Ain't Bee. Possibly the youngsters could convince them to take turns pushing the old black buttons in the dark depths of the caves while they stood safely high and dry in the caves entrances. Aunt Shirley agreed that it sure sounded like a fun daytrip but she wasn't sure if she could go. She had to feed her cats no later than 6:00 p.m. but she would think about it.
Ain't Bee was always game for any day out so she was excited and rearing to go.
The only thing left to decide was the day and time of departure. Judy and Kim had mentioned spending the night at a campground, sleeping in a tent like they did one other time. They had a blast and it was a very appealing idea. No one else was game so the two brave ones even considered going up a day early, just the two of them and having everyone else meet them there at the caves the following morning. That was still to be ironed out. All they knew was that they were like kids in a candy store and the day trip was there to satisfy their sweet tooth!
