Last night and this morning, Ben, Zach, and I had our annual Fathers and Son’s Campout with the ward.  We had a GREAT time!  Zach was VERY excited (as usual), and Ben was happy as well.  This was Ben’s first trip.  He was a little nervous because he didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as we got there, he starting running and never stopped until we went to bed!  🙂

We stopped on the way up there and got dinner at Chick Fil-A and then went and picked up some junk food.  We arrived and set up the tent, ate dinner, and then the boys had a blast climbing trees, playing Frisbee, and having fun with their friends that were there.

When it was time to go down to bed (the boys’ favorite part), we pulled out the junk food, ate a bunch, and watched a movie on my laptop.  They really love this because they can relax and I really love this because we can be together!

This morning when we got up, we got ready for breakfast.  Even after all the junk food, the boys were really hungry and ready to eat.  I had to cook breakfast with the bishopric and so as I was cooking, the boys tried to stay out of trouble.  We only had one injury when Ben was trying to help me with the pancakes and hit his arm on the hot griddle.  It burned him pretty bad (as you can see in the picture), but he was very brave and didn’t even cry.  Crazy!  I’m sure he’ll have a wicked scar from that.  He’s OK though.

Overall we had a wonderful time and I really enjoyed spending time with the boys!  We can’t wait to do it again!  We won’t wait until the next Father’s and Son’s Campout.  Maybe we’ll camp out in the back yard when mom and sisters are at Girl’s camp!  🙂
