Father's and Sons

This weekend Jacob and Ephraim got to go on a Fathers and Sons camping trip with Daddy. They got to sleep in a tent and even cook dinner over a campfire!

Joe was ambitious and rather than just having hot dogs for dinner, the boys had steak and potatoes! They said it was delicious. The boys also really enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the campfire and making s'mores (of course!). 

The boys had a blast camping! Not only did they get to hang out with Daddy and sleep outside, they also had several friends their ages to play with. Before they headed for home the next day, Daddy took the boys on a hike up the nearest mountain.

From their viewpoint they could see Utah Lake in the distance as well as their camping site. Joe took these awesome photos of my boys sitting together and enjoying the view. I love them!

Apparently camping was so exciting and exhausting that Ephraim fell asleep in the car before they even made it to the highway! He slept the whole way home and didn't even wake up when we unloaded the car.

After we got everything unpacked, I could tell that Jacob was feeling a little out of sorts. When I asked him what was wrong he started to cry and told me that he didn't want to come home! That is how much he loved camping!

So it looks like next summer we are going to have to do some camping and maybe a little fishing together as a family! Should be fun, and at least I know the boys will LOVE it!
