Father/Son Campout

At the beginning of May, Casey took the boys on their first Father/Son campout. Jason and Spencer came too. They did good and I was all alone overnight for the first time in over 3 years. It was weird. I ran errands by myself, did a little shopping, made what I wanted for dinner, watched movies and made jam, then woke up from a full nights sleep and made myself a yummy breakfast. I think the boys had fun too because Casey decided to repeat the experience the next week and take them to Jason's Father/Son campout. Weston still randomly brings up camping with his Dad to people. Thanks to Jason for the pictures!

When they got there, they had some help pitching the tent.

The set-up
They had dinner and played in/stoked the fire. Is there a difference with boys?

The next morning. This is a common occurence for Weston and it made Spencer smile.

They did boy things like: throw rocks in the water.

Drink straight from the stream. Collect sticks.

Exhausted from all the hard work. Being a boy is tiring :)

While the boys are away, I cook. I made Tomato and Artichoke Pasta for dinner, Strawberry Freezer Jam that night, and a Monterey Omelet with fruit and orange juice for breakfast. It was nice.
