On Friday evening, John and Sam went out to join some others at our ward Fathers & Sons campout.
Despite the fact that John and Sam weren't camping, they were just going out for Friday evening, Sam had waiting for it ALL week long. He even packed his bags two days in advance!! What did he pack for the evening? Two changes of clothes, jammies (though they weren't necessary), his book of mormon, pocket knife, ipod shuffle and pokemon headphones, and a animal identification guide book.
I LOVE watching Sam pack his bags.
Friday evening couldn't come soon enough, (especially when you wake up at 6:00 am full of excitement) but finally, by 4:30...they were on their way!
They roasted hotdogs, made slingshot arrows, played with other friends their age, and of course- whittled wood! Sam was in heaven;)
Back at the ranch...Abby and Jess decided that we needed to have a "Girls Night."
It involved going downtown to pick out mud masks.
Having a BBQ dinner while watching a storm roll in.
Applying said mud masks.
Painting toenails and fingernails.
And watching a movie. Abby insisted on a "Chick Flick" and the girls settled on "The Princess and the Pony." (It was tediously annoying to watch, but in the spirit of the evening, I did my best;)
Nate was the odd man out, unfortunately. I wasn't quite ready to let him go with John, and the girls weren't quite ready to let him join the girls night. Poor little guy just kinda wandered around bored, but we discovered that if we kept handing him juice boxes to drink, then he was perfectly happy!
It's a good thing this whole Father/Son's campout thing only happens ONCE a year!!!!
