This past weekend our Stake had the annual Fathers and Sons campout at Thousand Springs (which is in the Snake River Canyon for those that don't know). The boys had a great time spending time with their dad. They spent Friday evening fishing on the river and then camping out in the tent (thankfully nobody got too cold over night). Saturday morning consisted of more fishing, swimming at the pool, and visiting the hatchery nearby. Layton got his finger smashed in the door at the pool accidentally by Matt. From what Chase had told me I was expecting to see Layton's finger hanging on by a thread, but really it was just a small flap of skin that had been lifted up....nothing too terrible. When they got to the hatchery they saw a bunch of kids fishing in a small pool thing full of fish so our boys pulled out their poles and started fishing only to find out that the fishing was for 4-H members only (there must have been some type of 4-H function). Trey and Layton were lucky enough to hook a couple fish before they were "caught" by the ranger. So they had a Thai fish dinner made by Matt when they got home. The boys played so hard and stayed up much later than usual. Matt said he hadn't driven more than a couple miles to head home and the boys were fast asleep. They had a great time!

The boys probably thought they were in heaven. Actually the scenery pictures look like heaven!
But, leaches in heaven? Not mine.
Fun times and great memories.
O my heavens it looks like the boys had way to much fun! They looked so tired and sunburned when they stopped by. I am glad they got to spend that time with Matt. Love doug and kat
Looks like so much fun! I can't wait for Ben and Hayden to start making those memories! The pictures are gorgeous! Can't wait to see you guys again--we miss you!
Sounds like a lot of fun!!
Looks like fun boy-time! Matt is a very fun dad too.
