One of the trucks drew up at the gate of the house where lived the Bobbsey twins, the other auto keeping on, as it was well filled. But room had been saved in this one for Bert, Nan, Flossie and Freddie.
"Come on, Nan! Come on!" cried Flossie, still jumping up and down.
"Tell Nan to hurry!" added Freddie to his brother.
"She's coming," Bert said, as he walked down to the gate with the packages of lunch.
"Hello, Bert!" called Charlie Mason, from the truck. "Got enough to eat?"
"I guess so," Bert answered his chum, holding up the boxes and baskets. "Enough for two picnics I should say!"
"You can eat a lot when you're off in the woods," added Dannie Rugg. "It's like camping out."
"Here comes Nan!" exclaimed Grace Lavine, a particular chum of the older Bobbsey girl.
Nan, having hurried in to tell her mother the trucks had arrived, now hastened down the path, her hair flying in the wind.
"Have you everything? Take good care of Flossie and Freddie! Have a good time, and don't fall into the water!" Mrs. Bobbsey said, as she waved good-by to her twins while they clambered up into the truck.
