[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 104333, member: 3626"] Maybe it is time to set some parameters. One month is strictly a father/son visit, the next is "family." The one-on-one time is crucial. You two need to be able to get to know each other without the outside world intruding. You need to have some laughs and some tears, some heart-to-heart conversations, some just plain fun together. You can't do this with someone else along. David, don't count on his being able to come home for Christmas. I did that with my daughter and was absolutely devastated when it turned out she couldn't because she'd gone down in levels. Unless this camp says he can go matter what, be prepared to be disappointed. As to what to bring, I'd definitely bring the sugar cookies. It sounds like they are important to him. As to a dish, it really does depend if it is for just the two of you or for the group. If it's for the group, salad is always good. A couple of huge subs cut into 2-inch sandwiches works. Deviled eggs are always popular. Heck, chips and salsa works well, too. [/QUOTE]
