"Gearing up" for camping

This coming weekend our church is having a family camp out. Josh and I are going and taking Kafka with us. We are going out shopping today to pick up the necessary camping items that we don't already have. Josh thought I was crazy for making a list of the items we need to pack was silly since we are only going to be there for 1 night and it actually will be less than 24 hours. So, I made the list and then let him look at it and he actually agreed that my list wasn't so crazy after all. I want you to be the judge of whether or not the list is too much.

Tent
Tarp for under tent
Air Mattress
Sleeping bags
pillows
chairs
party grill & propane
Pan to heat water in
pot holder
cooler
flashlights
laundry basket to carry food items
citronella candles
lighter

Paper towels
paper plates
plastic silverware
wipes to clean up with


Kafka's bowls
food for dog
dog leash

First Aid Kit
Bug spray
playing cards
Catch Phrase game

Clothes items
Toiletries


Cheese-its
granola bars
graham crackers
marshmallows
Hershey bars
bread
lunch meat
cheese slices
mustard
mayo
potato chips
milk
coffee singles
sugar
soda- various types
juice- various types
bottled water
ICE


Now, I realize that we are only going for one night but all of these items just seem important to me. I realize people camp all the time with a lot less than this but this really isn't that much stuff, it is just individually listed which makes it a long list.

What's with the "soda - various types"...who are we kidding? It should read: "soda - coca cola"

What about hot dogs? I didn't see those on there.

And since when does Josh need propane? Come on man...he's gotten soft...two twigs, one match and maybe a magnesium fire starter.

Miss you guys!
