father's and sons goes south

isaac and matt have been planning on heading down to yuba lake with our fellow ward fathers this weekend for the annual outing. matt's only excitement in the adventure was the fact that he wasn't going to have to plan and prepare the breakfast for everyone. when isaac realized thursday night that he wouldn't be able to go on the outing AND play in his soccer game on saturday, he was faced with a major dilema. when he chose soccer, matt leaped for joy. in lieu, we had our own campout right in the backyard. we threw up a fire in the firepit and roasted shmarshies. SAFETY NOTICE: avoid two year olds holding sticks with marshmallows stuck on the end. extreme stickage may occur.

we then retired to the tent. where eli only lasted 2 minutes before he was removed back inside to his bed as he wouldn't stop jumping on everyone. that meant i was no longer a tent participant either. and by 2 o'clock am, rain forced everyone else back inside as well. oh well, right? it's all about the experience. we spent all day saturday trying to dry 5 sleeping bags, 2 blowup mattresses and a tent that didn't even get slept in all night!
