Father Sons Campout

Brandon was very excited about the father/son campout this year because it was the first year he could actually go with his son and campout! He has gone to many of them before, but either went with someone else's son or just went and came home early. Now that Beckett is two years old, he felt he could do the whole thing. The campout was at the B-52 campground on the Air Force Academy so they stopped before entering the campground at the huge B-52 bomber.

At the campground, they set up camp with the other men and sons from the ward and began playing games. They played lots of baseball as well as some football. Beckett enjoyed some time playing with the other boys, but because they were bigger, older, and faster, he stuck with his daddy most of the time. At night, they enjoyed a nice dinner and devotional (which Brandon put on for the ward) as well as lots of "goodies."

Once bedtime came, Beckett was the one who volunteered them to go to bed. Brandon said that as soon as he laid him down, he fell asleep. At first it seemed like it was going to be a good night, but as it got a little colder, Beckett woke up at 3am and never really went back to bed. By 6:30am, Brandon had had enough and they packed up their tent and stuff and came home. They were both exhausted and fell back asleep at home for a few hours. Go boys!
