Our annual Father/Son Campout was scheduled for two weeks ago, the day of the monsoon.  Cancelled.  And rescheduled for last night.  I enjoyed a few hours of productive cleaning, two movies ("Dear John" and "We are Marshall"), popcorn and time with my dog.  :) 

Derek was in charge of food for the campout and was loaded with cookies, marshmallows for roasting, pancake mix, apple juice, frozen fruit, and bacon for breakfast. 

Jacob was in charge of taking pictures for me!  It's fun to see things through his eyes (and it's a little scary)…let me demonstrate:

Yikes – adult, Scott, and 10 year old, Lance, showing camping macho-ism – glad that's not my kid!

WHAT?!  That IS my child – with a tarantula crawling up his leg.  Glad I wasn't there. 🙂

Once again, another fun year with a fun tradition.  They caught frogs and collected rocks.  Samuel woke up at 5:50 am, Caleb threw a fit about going to bed (hot, hungry and grumpy!) and Jacob snuck out of the tent at midnight with some other boys.  All in all, a successful year of Father/Son camping!!

    Jacob did a GREAT job with the camera! I love seeing camp from his perspective, and how lovely that he paid attention to the sunrise.
