Camping

Fathers and Sons was 2 days after Dan finished his finals so he was going to take Jaxon to the fathers and sons campout. Someone told us it was going to be an hour and a half away so we decided that since Jaxon had never been camping and can't seem to go to sleep when we are in the same room... we figured it might be better for them to not be so far away, so we decided it would be fun to have the campout in the backyard.

We don't have a tent so our sweet friends the Willnauer's let us borrow theirs. Jaxon and Dan had fun putting it up together. While they were doing that I went to the store to get all the essentials for camping. I got back and the boys cooked their hotdogs over the fire that we made in a terracotta pot. They played outside until it got darker and then they cooked s'mores over the fire. Then it was time for bed. Jaxon was so excited to go to sleep in the tent. Maybe an hour later after they went down - they came back inside. Jaxon couldn't fall asleep because it was windy which was making a lot of noise and I guess he kept asking Dan why "they had to sleep in the tent when mommy gets to sleep inside" lol. Hopefully his next time we go camping he will stay the entire night in the tent... but overall, I think it was a total success!!!
