Father's and Sons

This year the Father's and Sons campout was on Bubba's birthday weekend again. I guess that's what he gets for being born during the anniversary of the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood. Anyway, they went to the sand dunes just south of here. The boys had a great time sliding down the dunes on sleds. I guess the sleds didn't work very well, but someone had a boogy board that worked. Well, Bubba ate it one time about half way down and ended up with a mouth full and face full of sand. Eeew! Of course dad filmed it, but didn't get any photos. The only photo of the weekend is the one in our title spot. They stayed up late that night going to the observatory they have there and got to see Saturn and its rings and moons. I'm so jealous. Then they got up at the crack of dawn so they could get back in time for Bubba's game. None of the other LDS kids on his team thought that was important enough to show up for. We were extremely annoyed because only 8 kids showed and you can start with 8, but if you don't end up with 9, the game counts as a forfeit. Luckily, our coach got the director to approve the game with 8, so we won and it counted. It was a really good game. I think if you sign your kid up for a team sport, they need to be there. We've missed several pack meetings, including the Pinewood Derby, so that he could be there. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now. Poor dad was awake more than asleep all night. He's such an awesome dad since it's not as fun for him as it is for them, but he does it anyway because they love it.
