Father/Son Campout

Darin took the 3 oldest boys on the father son campout. They all reported it was a good time. I asked Damon if dad was cranky and he said "only when he realized we didn't have any tent poles!" OY! I got totally blamed for that one. I was the last one to fold up the tent and while the poles were NEXT to the tent... they weren't in the bag. Luckily.. Darin is an amazing problem solver... this is what he came up with!


It was pretty funny to hear the bishop (AKA our landlord) tell the story. It was something like... "we were setting up our tents when we heard a bunch of swearing coming from the parking lot. We raced over to find that YOU had stolen Darin's tent poles!" He had several offers of tents from people who had brought extras (WTH?) but alas... he stuck to his amazing design and the boys didn't complain of being cold or anything!! I sent the camera up with them and they came back with these few pics. Here are a couple of my 3 oldest boys all together!! LOVE IT!!

So glad they had fun. It's the times when things go 'wrong' that we make the best memories!

That's great- very creative tent- Andy probably would have called it quits and headed home at that point.

I love the picture of the 3 boys. That is the most endearing shot. Hey,... if you don't spell things out then you are totally responsible!!! j/k! Darin"s tent is very impressive and they probably thought it was cooler than the real thing> Everything that turns out okay is also somehow a credit to you... right!
