The Last Camping Trip

(It was the beginning of summer vacation for the Berkan children, Julie(age 15), Stanley(age 10) and cute little Averell(age 1) but this camping trip was not was what the Berkan family planned.)

(Camera cuts to the living room)

Julie: “I know where we should go.”

Stanley: “Where?”

Julie: “Disney World.”

Stanley: “No way, that’s for babies, like Averell.”

(Heather and Vincent come down with sleeping bags and tent poles)

Heather: “We’re gonna all go camping.”

Stanley: “Even Averell?”

Averell(giggles)

Heather(picks Averell up): “this a chance for the whole family to do something together.”

Vincent: “Your mother’s got a point, so start packing your bags.”

(Outside putting stuff in the back of the Plymouth Plaza)

Heather(buckling Averell in his car seat): “Honey, did we pack enough diapers?”

Vincent: “we’ve got one big box of ‘em.”

Heather: “What about wipes?”

Vincent: “Yep, they’re right here honey bun.”

Heather: “got the baby formula?”

Vincent: “got it dear.”

Julie: “At least there’s room for our stuff.”

Stanley: “Yeah, half of this stuff is for Averell, how much stuff does one baby need?”

Heather: “A mother has to come well prepared.”

(A few minutes later)

Vincent: “Ok, we’re ready to roll(sniffs) I can smell that fresh forest air already.”

Stanley: “Uh, dad that’s not fresh forest air.”

Heather(gets out and unbuckles Averell from his car seat): “I knew I was forgetting something!!!”(runs back into the house and quickly changes Averell and runs back outside and buckles Averell back in his car seat.)

Vincent: “I say our first summer weekend has officially started.”(drives off to the camping lodge)
