I'll bet all those people at the campground are happy to be home too! ;-) I remember the first time I drove a car. I ran over a low retaining wall and ended up with only three wheels on the ground. I had to jack it up and put concrete blocks under the wheel so I could get going again.
I thought my dad would be mad but he laughed his head off. The next day, he let me drive on the highway. When he said "pull off here" I pulled over on a gullied sholder without slowing down first. It really rattled our teeth, and that time he didn't laugh.
