fathers & sons (kinda)

Ben told Griffin he would take him camping at the ward fathers & sons this year. He talked it up for weeks and they even bought sleeping bags. When it came down to it Ben didn't really want to go. He can't handle camping and wonders why anyone would want to "sleep and wake up in the dirt." So thankfully Griffin was satisfied with a home camp-out that we made seem way cooler than it was. We did a little fire pit out in the yard and made treats. We told scary stories around the campfire (which was really Griffin wondering a lot about coyotes for some reason). He seemed so old just hanging out late at night with Ben and I. Then we went in and made a little tent in Griffins room so the boys could sleep in their sleeping bags. They had flashlights and told more stories and read books. After about 20 mins Griffin just wanted to get in his bed. Thankfully we were at home and Ben wasn't in the wilderness with a bunch of kids so we could make that happen. It was such a fun night with my 2 little guys and I'm glad they didn't go so I could be included in the fun.
