Father & Sons Campout

Jack was so excited all week for the campout. He talked about it non-stop. He loves spending time with dad and loves the outdoors (just like dad).

But the thing Jack loves most of all is the camping food. He knows I will buy treats for camping that I don't normally buy, so he made his menu early: powdered donuts, cinnamon poptarts, BBQ chips and a lunchable. He asks for the same thing every year, except this year he was a little more specific and wanted Indiana Jones on the lunchable package. Eric actually took a camera this year, so it was fun to see pictures of what goes on.

You can see here how special that lunchable was to Jack.

Although I was excited Eric was taking a camera this year, he didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked him to. He probably took about 20 pictures, but only 2 of them were of Jack. He got plenty of pictures of the rest of the ward and even nice pictures like this: Why would you take a picture of this??? Men....

I love the Father and Sons campout every year, because I get to spend it with my girls. They also pick the same activities to do every year.

We started the night off with a tea party,

we made purses,

then made cookies...

We ate lots of cookie dough,

and then some more cookie dough,

and even more cookie dough.

We ate so much cookie dough that we couldn't eat a single cookie once they were finished and the girls were on quite the sugar high.

Then we laid out blankets, snuggled up together and watched Strawberry Shortcake.


Of course, we woke up the next morning and had cookies for breakfast.
