Father and Sons' Campout
The campout was April 25-26 at Whitney Pocket. This is the first year that Connor has gone with our ward for anything in a long time and Don actually hadn't taken the boys on this campout for a few years. The Elders Quorum had to cook breakfast and so that was right up Don's alley and since he is in the presidency they basically put him in charge. Connor loves to cook at any event he can so that was good for him. They made huge breakfast burritos with eggs, sausage, potatoes, green chilis, salsa and cheese. The motto for Father and Sons should be "what happens at Father and Sons, stays at Father and Sons"!! There are always many stories the boys some home with from camping and most of these their dad tries to get them not to tell me mostly because I may be a little concerned that their safety was not first priority This year's story involves getting chased by a bull. Connor and Caleb went on a 4-wheeler ride with Brother Jackson and his boys. They were going down a road and kind of in a canyon when they came upon a bunch of cattle. On their return trip they saw them again but this time there was a bull and he was none to thrilled with their presence. He started coming toward them and you can imagine the words coming out of Connor's mouth! A few choice 4-letter words starting with S and D. He seriously about wet himself. Brother Jackson had them go up on the sides of the canyon walls a little bit so the bull could not get them and they hurried right out of there! Cayden visited many campfires the night before just chatting with several of the men mostly asking for stories. Cayden also go incredibly sunburned. Not because there was no sunscreen but because there was none applied to his body. He could not bend his legs Sunday morning to the point that he got to stay home from church and then he missed school on Monday as well because he was walking like a hunched over old man!
