First camp-out...!

Back at the beginning of the year, Mark and I invested in camping equipment (a 7-people tent found on Craigslist and deluxe air mattresses) in anticipation for the annual Fathers and Sons camp-out that our ward organizes each year in May.

We learned a couple of months later that the event was going to fall right in the middle of our "Baby-moon" in St Thomas (see previous post). Mark was quite disappointed because he was looking forward to taking the boys camping for the first time; so, we found an alternative to satisfy Mark and the boys: camp in our backyard!

It was a great way to try out our tent and see how the boys would react to camping. It ended up storming that evening, and the thunder with the lightening did not make Adam feel safe; but, after a lot of reassurance from Mark he eventually calmed down and fell asleep. Antoine was fine the whole time as he was cuddling with his Dad.

Here is a pick of our adventurers!
