Your son must have been the "shy" one that had to be coaxed out? Darryl, I
think?
He was good. Campfire was good. A nice conclusion to the experience. My
only issue was the music on the movies and slides was choppy and WAY TOO
LOUD. This may have been a one time thing (the volume) and not a daily
occurrence. Other than that, a good program.
