Friday the 13th, Day of Thanks

Today I am thankful to have a husband who is willing and wants to take his sons on a Father and Son camp out. He knows how much our kids look forward to it all year long and he does his best to prepare and make it fun for the boys. He took a half day off of work today so that he could load up the van with all the proper attire (tent, sleeping bags, camping stove, firewood, supplies for hot dogs and bratwurst (dinner), smores (dessert), hot chocolate, pancakes and bacon (breakfast), snacks/treats, drinks, flashlights, glow sticks, balls/bats, bug spray, burn bandages and medicine (cuz we all know how fathers and sons turned out last year for Connor) and anything else you could possibly think of. Then he picked Connor straight up from school (he didn't even have to ride the bus today... he was SUPER excited) and drove the three of them to the campsite off of Lake Houston. I have no doubt the boys are having the time of their life right now throwing rocks and playing with sticks and Seth is a bit bored and wishing he had a comfy bed to climb into right about now. :) I am also thankful that next year Dallin will be old enough to tag along and I will officially have the night OFF! ;)

  1. I'm glad that you got a night off, kind of :) I LOVE it when Jeff takes Brooklyn out for daddy/daughter dates, even if it's just for an hour so I can relax!
