Default What to bring on 1st boarding kennel visit?

Does anyone have suggestions on things to bring or NOT to bring for my 2 yorkies in their kennel while they are boarded? They play with all kinds of toys, bones, and each other when I'm around, but I have only left kongs with them in their crate at home with fear of something breaking, choking them, etc. My husband & I are going out of town this weekend with family & I have been unsuccessful in finding a puppy sitter, so my pups (almost 8 months old) are going to the boarding kennel Friday-Sunday for the first time. We have only been apart from them one other time & they stayed at a puppy sitter's house for the week while we were gone. I have visited the kennel, met the owners (owners live on the property), know other people that have brought pets there, pups have all the right shots, and I think everything will be just fine...but I am nervous about leaving my furbabies! The main thing that bugs me is that they will have very limited human interaction, and they pretty much go nuts around other dogs (they have been socialized but go nuts until they can actually MEET a dog that they see) so I'm not sure that they will get much rest. The kennel owners told me that I can bring toys, treats, their crate, etc for them (they are going to stay in the same pen together), but I'm wondering if I should bring them anything that I normally wouldn't give them if left unattended like some of their toy ropes, stuffed toys, other chew toys? The owners live on the property (their house is right by their boarding facility), but they don't watch the dogs all the time. I think that they check on them when they let them outside and when they feed them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
