Fathers & Sons Campout

This past Friday and Saturday was our ward's Fathers and Son's campout. All week we were sure it was going to be cancelled due to bad weather (rain, snow, high winds...you name it), but luckily things cleared up on Friday . . . although it was still quite cold and windy at the lake. This year the campout was held at Camp Murtaugh (a lake not too far from here). Matt said they are just getting it started, right now it is just a large field with a lake. This was Zander's first year going. He was so excited to go until it came time to pack and he wasn't sure about having to pack his pjs. They got there Friday night and did some fishing (Matt ended up supplying the fishing poles everyone since no one else brought any).




Zander fell asleep in the truck and then Matt transferred him to the tent. Sometime during the night Zander woke up crying because he was cold so Matt pulled him into his sleeping bag with him, only to find out that Zander had wet his pants. Fun for him! They had pancakes and bacon for breakfast, went fishing, geo-caching, and shot archery. Layton was sitting with his back around the fire and Matt told him to move so he wouldn't burn his coat. He got up and then sat back in the same spot. Well surprise, he burnt his coat.Lunch consisted of hamburgers, pop, and chips and then it was time to head home. The boys had a blast spending the weekend hanging out with dad!
