I'll need this for camping, and this for camping.
-[Gramsy gargling] -This for camping, and this...
It's your first ever
Gramsy Gram's daughter super-grand camping trip, Ellen.
-I'm so excited! -Me, too.
Me three.
[sniffs] Forest-scented.
Oh, Elly-bear,
you don't need all that stuff for camping.
I don't?
All you really need are the clothes on your back,
a positive attitude, and the great outdoors.
I have all those things.
And they probably have
all of the stuff in the bathrooms there, anyway. Right?
Uh, El, there are no bathrooms.
No bathrooms?
But where do you start the day?
[both laugh]
When you're camping, the world is your bathroom.

[Ellen] That's me.
[Ellen reading]
I'm so excited.
Swim in a lake, and sleep under the stars.
It's like you were born for this.
You're going to love roughing it as much as we do.
I just know it.
Totally.
And, just to be clear, what's roughing it mean exactly?
It means getting dirty and uncomfortable and being one with nature.
I'm going to be dirty, purty and thriving.
So, like, the opposite of being clean and cozy
and inside, where all your things are?
[both] Exactly.
Well, if you two love roughing it,
I'm sure I will, too.
No doubtskies, it's gonna be great!
Ouch.
You think we'll see a bear or an otter?
What about a deer? Or a parakeet?
[Gramsy] A pair of feet?
[laughs]
Here we go.

[Gramsy] We are here!
We're where?
At our campsite.
Oh, I kind of expected more beautiful forest,
and less patch of dirt.
But I can work with this.
Think we're going to see some wildlife soon?
Soon. But first, we gotta set up camp.
Becky, you start digging up those rocks,
so we can pitch the tent on smooth ground.
Ma'am. Yes, ma'am,
[grunts] Ha! Far, be gone, rock! [laughs]
I'll gather the firewood.
And Ellen, be a Jill and fetch a pail of water from the creek.
You got it, Gramsy.
[rustling]
Wildlife! No sudden movements. No loud noises.
Deer!
[echoes] Deer!
Did you see the deer, Elly-Belly?
I almost did. But then you shouted, "Deer!"
And it got scared and ran away.
Oh, [chuckles] my bad.
It's all right.
I'm sure I'll see something else.
Just a little farther.
Another deer!
Whoa!
That's cold. [shivers]
-Oh, dear. -[gasps] Ooh, where?
Sorry, I meant, "Oh, dear,"
-As in, "Oh, dear, you're shivering." -[shivers]
[Becky] Anybody out there?
-[both] Becky? -I'm... I'm stuck.
Whoa!
Thanks.
-[shivering] -What happened?
Ellen went for a swim.
Oh, without me?
[shivering] I'm really cold,
and I don't have any other clothes.
Why didn't you pack a change?
You said I didn't need anything but the clothes on my back.
I did say that, didn't I?
I packed extra clothes.
It's my latest fashion invention, "The Froutfit,"
aka, "the fruity outfit."
Why do you call it that?
Because I sprayed my strawberry perfume all over it.
Smellsies.
[sniffs] That's very sweet.
Thanks.
Sure you don't want to come in?
The water's really nice. Also freezing. Ooh.
[growls softly] It's like we're polar bears.
-[flies buzzing] -That's okay. I'm just gonna sit here and look for wildlife.
Uh-oh. Looks like the flies are fond of the froutfit fragrance.
-Shoo, shoo, flies. -[Becky laughing]
What's so funny?
[laughing] Gramsy's tickling my toes.
No, I'm not.
Then, uh...
[gasps] Fish!
Wow, Ellen, there's a ton of fish down there.
Their scales are so colorful and shiny.
Very fashion forward.
Ooh, what kind of fish?
Bass? Trout? Flounder? Sheepshead?
[water bubbling]
Not sure. What kind of fish looks like this? [kisses]
Wait. I didn't see the deer, and now, I didn't see any fish.
Am I going to see any wildlife on this camping trip?
Uh, all right, kiddos,
let's head back to the campsite and start our fire.
Love a fire.
I'd love to start having some fun.
[mellow instrumental music playing]
Hey, El, mind helping me with the rain cover?
Well, it's just, it's gonna be dark soon,
and I still haven't seen any wildlife yet.
Oh, right. Nevermind. I got this. Oh.
Doesn't even look like it's going to rain, anyway.
So, I don't think we need to put the rain cover on.
Thanks, Becky. [gasps]
[Becky shouting] Fire!
Oops, sorry, but that fire is like so fire.
Come and get it!
[echoes] Get it... get it.
I'm never going to see any wildlife.
I call this, beans a la can.
Mm, I'm tasting beans with a hint of can.
Right on.
Yes!
Not hungry, Elly-Bee?
-Not really. -Something the matter?
-Mm. -Mm.
No, this is the best.
Just saving my appetite for s'mores.
-Well, looks like it's s'mores o'clock. -[Becky gasps, giggles]
-[gasps] -Uh-oh.
I think the Graham Crackers got all soggy
when Ellen fell in the creek.
Oh, no! Soggy Grahams.
Soggy Grams? That's my nickname at water aerobics.
But also, yes, soggy Grahams.
Does that mean no s'mores?
Hmm. Well, how about we make cracker-less s'mores?
We'll call 'em s'messies!
[sighs] S'mall-right.
Uh-oh.
What is it?
Pretty sure some raccoons got to the marshmallows and chocolate.
[groans softly] Why does everything keep going wrong?
Well, you may not have seen any wildlife,
but at least you got your snacks eaten by wildlife.
That's not helping.
Aw, racoons.
It's okay. I appreciate you trying to cheer me up.
No, I mean, 'Aw, racoons," like, "Oh, look, racoons!"
Really? [gasps, grunts]
[racoon chittering]
Uh, how about a spooky campfire story, El?
No, thanks.
Can we just go to bed?
I haven't seen any wildlife on this trip.
And we couldn't make any s'mores.
At least I can try to sleep under the stars.
That's the positive spirit!
[owl hooting]
[grunts]
Didn't you dig up the rocks, Becky?
'Course I did. Just not all of them.
I think humans invented beds with cozy blankets and pillows,
so they didn't have to sleep on rocks.
But you know what?
At least the stars are really pretty.
They don't look as bright back at home, do they?
They really don't. Um...
Where'd the stars go?
Huh, guess the clouds rolled in.
[thunderclap]
[Ellen] And, it's raining.
-Uh, Gramsy? -Yeah?
You know the rain cover that I was supposed to put on
-that I didn't put on? -Yeah.
Well, I didn't put it on.
Yeah, I got that, Becky.
Gram's daughters, let's go home
Elly-Belly?
I'm sorry roughing it was so rough.
I just really wanted to like camping
as much as you and Becky do.
But, honestly, I don't.
I don't think roughing it is for me.
I like my things.
And I like being cozy and warm, and not covered in flies.
And there's nothing wrong with that at all.
Not everything is for everybody.
But at least you tried something new.
And maybe someday, I'll want to try camping again.
Just not tonight.
Someday sounds good.
But tonight, why don't you come downstairs?
I want to show you something.
Whoa!
S'mores!
I think somebody followed us home.
-[raccoons chittering] -[gasps] Wildlife!
And...
And stars!
Now, this is for me.
It's not exactly roughing it, but it's still great.
It's better than roughing it.
I call it "smoothing it."
[laughs] I think I love smoothing it.
-Me, too. -Me three.
