Gone Campin'

Our first joint purchase as a couple was a 6-person tent. Ten years ago. While considering what size tent to buy, I mentioned it would be good to have the extra room "for the little ones." So, ten years later, we finally got to camp with our little guy at Burke Lake Park. It was very enjoyable, and Tommy loved unpacking the car, pitching the tent, roasting marshmallows, and sleeping in sleeping bags.

His favorite part of setting up camp was definitely using the "hay-mah." He's a tool guy, what else would we expect?

He also eagerly carried the sleeping bags from the car to the tent. Such a great helper.

Once the fire got going, the real fun began.

Steak - it's what's for dinner.

Gotta love the light of a good campfire.

Getting those marshmallows melty or "meh-ty." He liked roasting them but didn't like eating them. More for Mama and Papa!

Tommy used the smokescreen to sneak a sip from his Papa's beer bottle (yes, it was empty).

A little hot sauce with your breakfast burrito?
