Gabe's First "Official" Camping Trip

In June we headed up to Pine Flats Campground for Gabe's first real campout. We had attempted camping last fall, but had to head home when we got to the campground and discovered that someone had left the sleeping bags and blankets at home. And then this Spring, Dave took Gabe up to a ward Fathers and Sons campout, but didn't stay overnight. SO, this was really the first and Gabe LOVED it. We're not sure if WE loved it. Most of the weekend was spent corralling Gabe away from the fire or the ax or the cliff or any number of other dangers. Also, the first night, he didn't realize until morning that we had come in and were sleeping right next to him in the tent, but the next night he woke up and started screaming at us to get him and so that night we spent trading him between our sleeping bags. He actually slept, but we didn't!


S'mores are Delicious!

On the last evening, we couldn't take it anymore and just strapped Gabe into his highchair and gave him garbage to play with while we got dinner ready.  He did pretty well with that set-up!
