Father Son Campout


Here is Jordan at his first campout in the desert! We had a father's and sons campout with the ward to a rather unique place called Picacho Peak. You can see from the picture that Jordan found the grill lighter and a donut.


For some reason Jordan was just plain shy at the campout. You can see he still had his lighter but was not interested in smiling for the camera.


Another picture of Jordan, his lighter, and his donut. It is the little things that make life special!


We went on a little hike with his friends, Cooper, Kyai, and Cirdan, but Jordan was being a grumpy boy.

Jordan and his daddy having a great time in the desert on a fun camping trip!

Here is some commentary on my thoughts of this camping trip. Hill read through this post and said it was not good enough. So here is try #2. This one has much more feeling to it.........here 'goes...

I really enjoyed going on this camping trip with Jordan. It was so much fun to see him play with his flashlight, then later his lighter and see him explore this strange world of the desert. He enjoyed pretending to hit the cactus with his sword (lighter), and when I was carrying him he was very protective of me so that I would stay away from all the cactus. He would say, "Daddy watch out for that cactus!"

It was fun to see him interact with his friends around the campfire, roasting and eating marshmallows (this really means getting it all over his face and hands). He had so much fun that he did not want to go to sleep when it was time. Then, he was up at the crack of dawn (just before 5 AM) and ready for more fun. I on the other hand, had not had my beauty rest.

Jordan had a lot of fun on this trip and I hope that he will remember the good times the next time we go camping. 

Good job Preston :) -Hillary
