FATHER'S AND SON'S CAMPOUT



So Thursday night Doug had all the boys come into our room to discuss if they wanted to go to the father's and son's camp out the following day. They were like naw, I don't really want to, so Doug said OK, then i guess we aren't going, and that was that. So Friday afternoon he gets off work early and goes to play in a friendly buy in game of golf for $30. After about 4 holes he gets a call from Josh, "Where are you? Aren't we going to the fathers and sons camp out?" Doug reminds them of the conversation they had the night before. Josh doesn't recall that conversation at all and says we want to go! So Doug has to eat the 30 bucks and drive back home(around 35 miles away!) He has to pack everything up, think of something to cook for dinner load it all up and go! He was such a trooper, I would have stopped at subway or something and called that dinner. But he marinated chicken, brought rice to cook and loaded up the BBQ to make dinner. We only have a little three man tent, so Doug took one of our twin mattresses and threw it in the back of the truck too, so that he could sleep on it in the back of the truck at night! They all had a good time! I was really glad it wasn't a mother and sons camp out! The only sad thing was that i was all alone Friday night, I don't like that at all, the house was way too quiet and i was fine until i tried to go to sleep, then i hear all these noises and think of all the bad stuff that can happen to a girl all alone in the house! I did manage to clean the house with no interruptions, which was nice, but when they came home to dump all their camping stuff in the family room i thought, why did i clean all night last night? I am glad the boys have such a good Dad, he really is a great guy. Here are some of the pictures he took, I guess Tyler really liked to play in the fire, looks like we have another fire lover on our hands!

John has learned to plan on going even when Ross and Cai have said everyday up to it that they don't care if they go, it always changes at the last minute! Doug is awesome to throw that together and ditch his golf!

What a great dad! Sounds like they had lots of fun. Maybe next time they will give you a little warning so you can plan a girls night all nighter. If only I lived in Utah...
