As commander of the troops, which include myself, DH, DS9 and DS7, I have drawn up the following plan of attack:
OPERATION TRAVEL LIGHTLY AND MOVE QUICKLY
a/k/a THREE MOUNTAINS IN ONE DAY
Each family member has been given a fanny pack of their own complete with H2O bottle holder. A disposable rain coat will be placed in each pack.
Each morning, the younger troops shall choose from a wide array of snacks to be placed in their fanny packs as well as whatever else they deem necessary. (Game Boy Advance will not be permitted in said fanny pack.)
Second in command (DH) shall carry his wallet and digital camera in his fanny pack along with whatever else he deems necessary. (Cell phone will not be permitted so that DH will not be able to check in at the office.)
Along with money, sunglasses, lipstick and pain reliever, Commander will also carry the passes, as she does not trust any of her troops to carry out this most important mission.
Over and Out! (Oh yeah, we'll have a couple of family radios too.)
