Father Son Camping Trip

This weekend was the much anticipated annual Father/Son camping trip at our church.  As you can imagine this is right up Carter's alley.  He loves the camping, the playmates, the swimming, the hiking, the games, all of it.
As they loaded up the truck and headed out, he was talking a mile a minute about everything they were going to play and do.  Unfortunately it was also raining at the time.  They ended up having two brief rainstorms and rain throughout the night, but it didn't spoil the fun at all.  And the nice cool temperatures were a welcome gift. Happy to say, the rain cover on the tent works and their accommodations stayed nice and dry.
Where do you find the little boys at a campground? Around the fire with sticks, of course...
And when not there, then in the lake...

They had lots of fun swimming, playing capture the flag, and cooking.  After dinner it was time for s'mores and songs.
 
This has to be one of the best things about camping.  I miss these times at summer camp.  This video clip brings all those memories rushing back...

Now I just need to learn to play the guitar...

Then it was time to hit the hay.
After breakfast the next morning, they headed off into the woods for a hike...
 
their destination...

Taking a dip in the chilly mountain stream...

It was a great weekend for everyone involved.  Carter and Daddy returned smiling, happy, and exhausted. Such sweet memories...
