Daddy and Joseph went on their first camping trip on June 15th all the way in our backyard! They had been talking about going camping for quite some time now and decided to make Father's Day weekend their first trip together and hopefully to make it an annual tradition (in hopes that one year they venture out a little further!)
Daddy, like in all aspects of his life, went above and beyond on this adventure. I was given a list of things to pick up from the store and that was all that I had to do with it. On Friday afternoon after packing their backpacks they were ready to go.
Joseph packing his backpack-he wanted to carry the camping cup!
They started off their camping trip with a hike. The hike started the weekend off with a bang as they saw a snake on it! And not only did they see a snake but the snake was eating a fish! That made for a pretty excited 2 1/2 year old!
They returned from the hike and didn't even come inside-went straight to the backyard to set up camp and to get dinner ready.
They cooked hot dogs and baked beans over open flames (Daddy said using the grill was cheating!) and even made s'mores for dessert.
After dinner they did come inside to go to the bathroom and to give Joseph a bath since he was filthy from the hike and playing outside! Then they made their way to the tent for the night. Joseph did great and slept the entire night. Daddy, on the other hand, came inside the house around 1:00 a.m. to get the fan because he was too hot! After setting it up with the extension cord he said it was much better and both slept until the sun came up!
They are both looking forward to many more camping trips in their futures.
