This last weekend was the Father/Son camp out. I tried really, really hard to convince Jason that since he has four sons, he should take four sons on this camp out. Yeah, that was a no go.
Weird? Right? Because who doesn't want to take a manic toddler with them camping overnight?
Maybe next year. (If you listen very carefully, you can hear Jason snort when he reads this.)
So those who were old enough to tie their shoes and use the bathroom on their own AND don't try to eat wood chips got to go camping with Jason. They all had a wonderful time. Our church has recreational land in Washington State and the ward reserved a night at Camp Zion. Gorgeous. Breathtaking. I didn't want to go camping with Isaac either, but the pictures almost changed my mind.
Camping in WA is a completely different experience than in VA. Honestly, they had me at fewer mosquitoes, but other benefits include lower humidity, cooler temps at night, and no Lyme disease. Probably the only drawback is that the nights are so short right now that I think that Jason and the boys didn't get to sleep until 11ish and were up at 4:30am.
Jason was impressed with the camp and said there were many areas where the boys could have spent all day. However, the bulk of their time on Saturday was spent on the water and all the boys agreed that it was their favorite part. Below are the pictures Jason took on Saturday.
They came home exhausted, smelly and sunburned. I guess that means it was a success. Well, except for that last one which mainly means Jason forgot the sunblock. Hopefully when our little terror calms down (or slows down), we can go as a family.
