Fathers and Sons campout

So every year my boys look forward with anticipation to the Father and Sons campout. This year was a little funny, we showed up and it was pouring rain and I found myself trying to talk us out of sticking it out. I said: "let's go down to that burger joint down the canyon, have dinner and then go to a late movie. The boys said: heck no, let's camp! We sat in the car for about 15 minutes and watched the sky clear and then we set up camp. We all ate about 18 hot dogs each, went on a hike and then sat around the campfire the rest of the night. Liam said he wanted to hit the sack about 11 p.m. Well, I did too. Clayton, Eli and some of their friends sat around our campfire until about 3 in the morning (this is typical)!

Here's a video clip of Eli "hating it" the next morning as I woke him to come to breakfast a little earlier than he would have liked.


Here's our group the morning after a "great night sleep". The 2 unfamiliar faces are Tannon and his little brother Cragun from our ward. Liam was doing great after a good 9 hours of sleep and Clayton was doing surprisingly well for 3 or 4 hours of sleep under his belt...Eli, ...not so much. The level of energy is very apparent on his face-heh, heh.

Here's a short video of the hike around Camp Kiesel and Camp Browning that we took(the camp where Clayton will be working this summer).
