One of my favorite things to do each year is take my boys to Man Camp. We experience all of the excitement of the first day of the deer hunt, but don't actually hunt deer. My boys love drinking Diet Coke (they can't drink Coke any other time), burping, and peeing outside. This year Hudson and Brian came with us and the kids all had a great time.
It was yet another quick trip down and back this year. We left after work on Friday night so when we got to Cedar City it was just about 10:00 p.m. Dad had come down on Thursday morning so he had the cabin warm for us and we visited for a few minutes before turning in.
They boys all slept on the king bed, but after Landon fell out the 3rd time, I moved him into a bed with me.
When we woke up in the morning Landon noticed that one of the mouse traps had caught a mouse! He was so excited. Dad showed the boys how the mouse trap works.
We donned our orange gear and started out to take down the fence.
Riding ATV's is one of the best parts of Man Camp.
But the work we do every year is take down the fence. Landon is getting really helpful at fencing.
Here is the Man Camp fencing crew this year. Much of the work had been done by my uncle Gary and Dad when he came down earlier in the week. After just an hour or so we were done with the fence.
We also like to hike. I taught the boys how to break sticks agains trees and they loved it.
This year I taught Logan how to drive the ATV. He was in heaven. Despite the picture, he never rode it alone. I was always with him but he got pretty good at driving.
For a short while they worked on a fort.
Less than 24 hours later we were heading home again.
Before we left Cedar we stopped for a short visit with Arlene. She doesn't have much time left so I wanted to say goodbye. The doctors are giving her weeks to live. She is 92 years old and has lived a good long life.
On the drive home I think we tuckered everyone out.
Logan told me today that he also farted during man camp. A lot. Thanks for keeping the post clean :)
