Aidan and Mike joined Kelley, Owen, Emmett, Conal and Grandpa D for the annual Father-Son campout. As usual, it was fun, hot, wet, sticky and loaded with mosquitos : ) Aidan reeeeeaaaallllly looks forward to this weekend every year. They set up tents on Friday, then spend the weekend fishing, playing games, cooking-out and swimming. They attend Mass together at a country church in Door County.This year they came home a little early on Sunday because it was raining and I think the tent was leaking just a bit. They all come home low on sleep and with lots of bug bites and sticky dirt on them. Sounds like a grand weekend (for the boys) doesn't it?
The day before they left Aidan was so excited he decided to pack up his stuff early. He shouted down the stairs, "Mom, I have everything on my bed that I'm going to take!". I went up to his bedroom to find this scene...
Well, let's see.....lightsabers - check. Hat - check. Gun and jack-knife - check. Walky-talkys - check. Football - check. Pretty good. He only forgot a few nonessential items like clothes, underwear and toothbrush. Not bad for an eight year old boy.
Here are Aidan and Conal, gearing up...
