Faster Ben, faster. It was a 1/4 mile walk into the campsite, and luckily there was this pull cart for taking your gear in, otherwise it would have been quite a few trips. We packed like we were going car camping, not backpacking.
After setting up camp, the first order of business was making a fire and roasting hotdogs. There were community fire rings so at dinner we met another father and son that were having a little male bonding as well. His son was right in the same age group as our boys so they hit it off.
We got two sites right next to each other.
In the evening it did start to cool down, hence the stocking caps came out.
Breakfast Saturday morning.
Logan was all smiles!
Ben was in charge of Hot Cocoa, notice his technique, just marvelous.
Breit boys!
Breakfast on the right, crazy guy on the left.
ummm....we forgot a spatula, so Ben crafted one out of a paperplate, and much to our surprise it held up. I think I will start calling him MacGyver. Was I the only one that watched that show?
Mmmmmm.... the Word of God and a cup of coffee.
The boys being ......well boys.
After breakfast we went for a hike and came across this stream. The kids did manage to get their feet wet and then we headed back to pack up and head out.
My artsy side.
Hiking back to camp.
Wildlife!
We had a good time, and we were very glad we made the effort to still get our boys out camping, even for a short trip. We try to lead a fairly simple life with not too many distractions, but somehow we still get very busy and it is very important for us to stop and invest some time into our kids lives. I probably don't invest as much as I should.
