Father and Sons Campout

Oh yeah! Camping trip!  Grayson and I headed off to camp on Friday night.  It was on a member of the stake's land.  He had a big field that we set up tents, and had a fire, and all that goodness.  We ended up having a great time, and both slept well, which is the key to said enjoyment. :) Here's a picture of Grayson heading to the bathroom with the lantern before bed.

Rolling back to Monday I took Jelly to the vet.  She hasn't been eating much lately, and we wanted to make sure she was okay.  She would eat wet food whenever we gave it to her, so we thought maybe it was something with her teeth.  The checkout looked good, but they said some of her back teeth are pretty dirty.  She's now scheduled for a teeth cleaning, and they said they'd be able to take a closer look during the cleaning and see if any of them needed to come out.  So in the meantime we're giving Jelly wet food daily, and hoping she'll feel better after the cleaning.  Oh, they had these cat things on the wall, and I put Jelly on them.  She would climb down almost instantly each time, but I wanted her to try to enjoy it some...

I don't have any context for this, but here's Grayson with a big ol' giraffe.  Maybe Monica will say something here. (It was at the dentist! Love, Monica)

Zoom zoom, back to the campout!  Grayson and I headed up on Friday evening, and we roasted hot dogs for dinner.

We hung out with the Weeks while we were there.  They actually brought the hot dogs for us, and we brought the chips.  Pretty big win for us I'd say!  We had a ton of fun hanging out, and playing on the swing, and roasting hot dogs and s'mores.  Great time!

There was also a pond there with a fountain.  Grayson really wanted to go see it, and Connor grabbed this picture of us over at the pond while they were on their way over.  We spent some time walking circles around the pond before running back to the fire for s'mores.

By the time we were done setting up the tent, cooking dinner, and exploring, the sun was starting to set, so we headed to the tent and got ready for bed.  I listened to a book until Grayson fell asleep, and then finished getting ready for bed.  I was waiting for Parker to fall asleep, but he hung on until about 10:30 when Connor put their weather cover on the tent to dim the moon light.  I fell asleep sometime around 11 once it finally started to feel cool.

Saturday morning we cleaned up and had breakfast before heading back home.  We didn't make it back in time for Winry's basketball game, but Monica and Brooke went.  Winry had a fun time, so that's great!

On Sunday I was heading to the primary room to hear Winry's talk after kicking off Elder's Quorum, but was already too late... But there was a crying baby in the hall that needed my help!  It was another Weeks!  We were around them all weekend long!  Once I got him calm we had a great time, mostly trying to eat his foot.

And that's all I've got for now.  I'm so glad I went to the campout with Grayson.  I was worried it would be rough, but in the end it was just a fun night with Grayson.  All in all we had a good week, and I hope you did too!
