Father Son Campout

By the looks of his face he is a happy kid!
Last month Brian had the opportunity to take Spencer to the father son camp out for our ward up at Green Canyon! It was Spencer's first time w/his daddy as a BIG boy and many more times to come I'm sure! Brian was so excited and really wanted to take James w/him too but mama had to put the knix on that one since he's just a baby and still 'relies' on his mommy for food!! But maybe next year we'll see! Thinking 3 is the right age for that stuff though, sorry babe! Who know's he'll probably beg and I'll probably give in -- only time will tell! Anyone else have suggestions on what age dad's should start taking their boy's to these things, do you think I'm crazy to want to wait till 3?!?!

Well anyway they had a dinner, went on a hike, played in the fire (which now that's all Spencer wants to do is put sticks in the fire and play in it whenever we have one) then they got up early had break feast and was suppose to go fishing but the lake/pond was gone when they got there, so weird -- I think they were fixing it or something but Brian was bummed so they got home at 9am, so early I thought I'd at least have until noon but no dice the boys were back! Brooklynn was at her dad's that weekend so it was just me and the babe, but once he was in bed for the night I just watched some of my show's and had a fun little surprise from my great friend Becky who was helping me stay away from my evil cookie dough craving - Thanks friend, I think I must be honest though I did it - yup I'm coming clean I tried the drink you told me to do and I ruined it w/too much lemon or something so I said screw it I'm making cookie dough! I can't believe I am doing this - but hey we all fall every so often, right?!?! I've been wanting to tell you for so long so well here it is :) Just so we're all clear I am trying to lose weight so we are partner's in crime and she was helping me be strong which worked for a while but not the entire night! Please forgive me!!
Yup a VERY happy kid!!
And there he is learning how to play w/a stick in the fire!
Finding new buddies on the hike!
And here's the empty pond/lake whatever it is!!!

I say if the kid is weaned, and dad wants the hassle, let him try. More time for you!!! :)

Looks like Spence had a blast!

I am with Rachel on this one. I actually have been taking Adona since she was one, and at some point she won't go since she isn't a son. But it works for now and she has a blast everytime.
