father-son camping trip

a few weeks ago, adam and a friend took their oldest sons on a camping trip to a nearby peninsula. it may have been the best 24 hours of graham's life. not only was he with his best friend, but he was outside with an abundance of creatures and nature to observe and touch. he caught 18 fish and that fact will come up in conversation if you talk with him for more than 30 seconds or so. mr jason did a lot of the leg-work and planning and it truly was a big hit.  marit and i had a mama/daughter duo over for a lovely time of nails, chic-fil-a and heidi, but the menfolk had the camera (being a low-tech family you know).

the shirts came off upon arrival and remained off most of the trip

boys and a bonfire

lovely sunrise

the rest  of us joined them the next day for some swimming, but they really just wanted to sit in the mud-puddle beside the beautiful lake...
