Camping meltdown in 3! 2! 1!

Ok kiddies here's the name of the game.
Leaving for a camping trip in about an hour.
How long before Nukes blows his top? You all get to take two hour slots.
The scenario- me, wife, the clones (twins a week from their 4th birthday) and mom-in-law.
It's rained in Massachusetts every day for almost 2 months. I barely got the tent raised on a DRY run in the backyard. That's only cause my wife is mechanically smarter than me and she helped.
Hours from 22:00 to 06:00 are blacked out due to sleep.
Go!
You posted on 1034 hrs. and it's 1513 hrs. now, I hope you didn't have a meltdown already.
I guess I'll take the 0600 to 0800 slot tomorrow morning. T minus 14 hours 47 minutes.
 
I brought the pup tent. Well see what happens.
Masshole broad at the next campsite started up with me the second I got here. "You don wanna set that tent up theyah- ouah fiah will set it tah flamin!".
I told her if she kept it up I'd sick my wife on her. Then she heard my wife.
Neighbor is real quiet now.
Translation of that females monologue:
"You don't want to set that tent up there. Our fire will set it to flaming."
 
My view of camping: Having my kids running amok in a campground is infinitely less stressful than having them running amok in a hotel. Also, camping affords excellent "I told you so" moments, and life lessons of the form: "If you **** up, you will be wet and miserable for the rest of the trip."
