First father-son camp out

This past Friday, May 18th( yes, amidst the chaos of Kenna's surprise party), Chris and Jace headed out for their first father-son camp out! Jace was so excited he couldn't stand it, he asked daily how many more days until they got to go!  There was a stake assignment for the men/sons to go to west piney and get things in shape for this summer when all the wards take the girls there for girls camps!

 We aren't really big campers, as a matter of fact, I hate it!  We do own a tent but it's big so Chris didn't want to take it. Instead, he took the seats out of the yukon and put a mattress in the back and that is where they  planned to sleep!

Here is Jace on the way to west piney

The camp -

West Piney has a HUGE slide, all my girls love going to camp because of the slide!  Jace, waiting his turn to go down - turns out, he loved the slide too!  He is holding a piece of carpet (makes you go down faster) with his friend Noah

Jace at the top of the slide, his turn finally arrived! He did say that he didn't like going back up all the stairs to get to the top of the slide - Kenna said there are like 500 but I'm thinking closer to 100!

Playing along the hillside with his friends Tyler and Carson

Our ward was given the assignment to get these logs chopped into fire wood and then place the wood at the camp sites.

 After the work was done, Chris and Jace headed out on a hike!  Isn't he just so handsome? I love this kid!!

Somewhere at the top of the mountain, Chris managed to get a picture of them both!

Jace had the time of his life! He came back totally covered in dirt, evidence of a good time, and he is hooked, he can't wait to go on the next father-son camp out! Chris enjoyed it too, here's to many years of these two camping together......let them begin!
