This year Dan was in charge of our wards Father Son Campout so that meant showing up with the boys early to get the camp unlocked and everything set-up.
The boys loved being up there so early on Friday. They were able to spend a lot of time fishing and from all of the fish stories they came home with it sounds like they caught a ton.
Dan invited some family to come along on the campout this year so the kids were able to hang out with Grandpa Rose, Uncle Gary and their cousins . Uncle Greg and Kayleb also came along and were a huge help with the boys. They're always such good examples when it comes to camping safety. Our boys now know the proper way to light their farts on fire, how to spray insect spray in their cupped hands and light that on fire, and the proper way to chop wood.
As seen below.
The boys had fun hauling rocks out into the river trying to make a swimming hole.
Eventually they switched gears and decided on a dam that stretched across the river.
Dan brought some surgical tubing for all of the boys in camp to make their very own sling shot. The boys picked out a branch on one of the hikes they went on, one with a Y shape in it, chopped it down, carved and whittled it smooth, then attached the tubing and a small square of leather. They had a blast shooting rocks, bark, and marshmallows at each other that weekend. They used some of the extra tubing to make water weenies for water fights. (remember those from the 80's?)
And speaking of water weenies lets not forget to mention one of the best parts to any father/son campout... Peeing in the woods:)
Glad all of my boys had a great weekend and have made it back home safe and sound!
