packing

Our  BIG summer trip is coming up in just a few days.  Jonny and James took the initiative to pack their suitcases last night.  Gary and I sorted through them after they were in bed.  Gary opened Jonny's first: Pack only the essentials, he said and then pulled out Jonny's essentials- a jester hat!, books, and clothes.  Then Gary moved on to James' case: Union soldier hat, pens and pencils, outer wear (only 1 underpants?!)
