On May 2
nd and 3rd, Jake and I went on our stake's Father/Son camp-out. We went to a campground called camp
Dakani. We got there first and picked out a prime spot for our camp site. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing catch w/ the baseball and kicking around the soccer ball. We went exploring on the trails, climbed tree stands and walked out over a river on the suspension bridge. We saw turtles and all kinds of birds. They had a "wetlands observatory" w/ a walkway through the marsh where we could see minnows and tons of tad poles.
I purposefully did not bring any PB crackers for Jake. He took it like a champ, we had a tinfoil dinner and
smores for dinner. Eggs and bacon for breakfast and brisket for lunch. Major breakthrough!
It cooled down to the 40's at night but we slept like babies in our tent. The next day we all helped clean up the camp which had a lot of downed trees from this winter's ice storm. It was a fun camp out!

is jake still addicted to peanut butter crackers? that's funny. maybe not for you though. i'm having flashbacks of that being the only thing he'd eat for a while. i'm jealous that you guys had fathers and sons. wade and seth have never been. i asked our ym president why our ward doesn't have one and he said that our bishop didn't want to do it because when he got called as bishop he didn't have any sons, only daughters. he's up for his five years this year, so there's hope for next year. how fun for you and jake (and for heather, i'm sure).
I was extremely impressed that Jacob continued his break through at our house! Way to go Jake! And I would love to go camping...preferrably somewhere it cools off at night!
How fun! I wish I could go camping!
