Father and Son Campout






Friday night was our Stake Father and Son Campout at our stake's property. Most "camped" in the lodge. We were one of the few that toughed it out and were in our little tent. The rain came down, the wind blew and the lightning and thunder went wild. We survived and only got a little wet. The boy's actually slept through most of the storm.




As with most campouts, The fire was the best part. They really liked the s'mores that our Bishop shared with us and thankfully someone told me(before we used them) that the sticks that I cut to cook the marshmellows on were dogwood and it could have made us sick.

Zak thought that we were really roughing it out there and thanked Heavenly Father for letting us be in the "Wilderness." You can see in the picture that we were really "back country" with the CRV parked next to our tent that was set up on grass. Not to mention the fact that we were only 300 yards from the highway and 15 minutes from Maverick. But hey, that is the wilderness to him!

We had a great time and we made it back from the wilderness in time for the busy day of soccer games, team pictures and canning fruit!
