Since last summer my good friend, Jason (the owner of a 3-something year old, Declan) and I had been tossing around the idea of doing a boys camping trip (and yes, I'm eternally thankful this did not take place last summer when the boys were two when we first conceived the idea). We finally set a weekend aside in late August. We somehow managed to score a decent spot in the middle of a summer weekend at Timothy Lake because of a cancellation and a little schmoozing by Ryan, another good friend who came out with his 3 year old Rayden, the night before. So let's see, three dads with their three three year old boys on what was essentially their first camping trip. This is a good idea, right? What could possibly go wrong? I'll let the pictures tell the story...
May as well get it started off right...with a nap.
Here's the spread...tents behind me (Ryan, Trey, Declan, Jason). and yes, one kid short...
What camping trip doesn't start with a little jumping on the bed (Declan & Trey)?
Exploration time...
King of the rock...for now.
Prepping for a boat ride
No camping trip would be complete without s'mores
What happens when 3 dads get their 3 year olds down to bed after a full day of exploring? um, head to bed before 10:00, of course!
Day two started out, naturally with a little more exploring (Trey & Rayden)
once again prepping the boat in hopes of a boat ride...
Fish were caught....(Trey, Declan & and some poor sap of a hatchery fish)
Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye
Parting shot...GO BRONCOS!
Yeah, I'd do it again...
