Father Son Campout

This weekend was our stake father son campout (for our church) and Rick couldn't wait to take Carson. He went last year and took one of the boys in our ward who's dad couldn't go, (since Carson was only a year old) but this year he decided to take Carson, he was so excited about it, it was really cute, and of course, so was Carson. He loves to do anything with his dad. So off they went driving an hour and half away to camp (Carson is less than excited about the car). I am told Rick bribed Carson to be quiet (after he ate the sandwich and fruit I gave him in the first fifteen minutes) by getting him a soda at Burger King. Awesome.

Carson loved camping a few months ago when we took him before Brynnli was born, and had a great time this time playing in the tent....

Running around with all the older boys (since none of the other kids his age came) and playing with the flashlight......
He took this picture of Rick in the tent, I think it's pretty good:)

So he played hard and had a blast the whole night, they barbequed hot dogs, ate chips, and then it was time for bed. All I can say is that at midnight I recieved a call from a very angry Rick, who had been trying for over two hours in numerous ways to get Carson to sleep in the tent, and had finally accepted defeat and had thrown the tent in the passengers seat of his mustang with all the sleeping bags, clothes, etc. still in it, and decided to drive the hour and a half home. You name it, he had tried it, believe me I asked. Rick does not get mad easily and he was fuming. Carson just kept saying "Home, bed." And pointing to the car. Of course, as soon as he put Carson in the car, he fell asleep. The little nut.
Once Carson got home he was obsessed with watching a movie on his sleeping bag with Rick in his sleeping bag next to him on the floor, he couldn't stop talking about the camping trip, he apparently had a blast, but kept telling me when I asked why he didn't sleep in the tent that he was "mean to daddy." Rick finally cooled off the next morning .

Meanwhile, a very sick Brynnli and I took off for the mall to do some shopping for our girl's weekend. She was great sleeping in the Bjorn, but I think we will have a little more fun next year when she is a little older and not so sick, poor sweetie!
