Father Son Campout

Our ward hosted a father-son camp out and Alec had been excited for over a week about going camping. It must have seemed like heaven to him-camping with daddy, grandpa, 2 uncles & his best buddy, Cannon.

Uncle Ben figured out that the lantern attracting bugs scared Alec:

Sword fighting with s'mores sticks:

A stick has two ends, so why not eat two marshmallows?

Alec's First Camping Trip

After a summer of attempts, we finally managed to go camping...in September! Our friends, Matt & Tessie booked a site and we happily headed up with a loaded car to Mt Charleston. Alec had a blast with the campfire, collecting rocks, sticks, pinecones, etc. Of course, the dogs thought they were in heaven. :)

First (ultra sticky) s'mores!
Although he got scared when we turned the lantern off, he certainly enjoyed sleeping between mommy & daddy!
