Fathers and Sons

On May 1st and 2nd I had the privilege of taking Saul and Chanler on their ward's father and son outing. Other than the campsite being a stones throw away from the highway and the constant smell of death coming from the dead cow elk up the road, it turned out to be pretty fun. More fun for the boys and that's what's important! After we got our tents set up the boys went to play with their friends, mostly catching crawfish and I just sat in my chair by my jeep. Well 9:00 comes around and the boys said they were gona do skits. By this time I was a bout to fall asleep, so I told them to just come to bed after that. So I went to bed myself...til about 10:30. I was awaken by screaming, stampeding and people tripping over my tent. If you haven't guessed it yet then I'll tell you...Capture the Flag! I dealt with that til almost midnight and couldn't fall back asleep til I don't know when. But like I said...it turned out to be pretty fun...for the boys...and that's what matters. Breakfast!Here's Julian trying to catch a crawfish with a sausage link and the boys watching.And here's Julian still trying while Saul and Chanler look like they're posing.

The boys look so grown up! I miss them. Tell Saul to cut his hair.

Ok i am kidding about the hair just incase Megan likes it and told him to grow it out. He can pull off a shag just fine.

Jeff said...

Hahaha! He saw an old picture of me with long hair and decided that he wanted to try and grow his longer.
