Congratulations on reaching the top of Mount Laundry! I've got mine finally done...but now it needs to be finished. As in, folded and properly put away. I could not believe the number of socks we went through this year since it rained a lot and the kids kept walking out of the tent in their socks. Yikes.
You took more pictures than we did last year when camping with a baby that age! That was a good idea with the mattress - I didn't know there was such a thing. Definitely something to keep in mind for future Sukkots.
Haha on the "don't freak out about cults" thing. It's taken even my Sabbath-keeping family a few years to not feel weirded-out by us camping out for the week. Every year we learn something important and it's getting easier. This is the first year I actually enjoyed the week and got a chance to actually sit and feel like this was a holiday instead of an intense learning session. Things do get easier!
