Father & Son's Camp Out- May 14-15, 2010

 The boys had a great time at the father/sons campout . The whole marble family use to be all in the same ward but since it has grown so big and been redivided and new wards made we are now in three different wards. They were lucky enough to all be able to go on the camp out for their dads ward though. It is so fun for the boys to get to go with friends and also all their boy cousins. I asked Scott if he would have someone take a picture of all the dads and sons from the marble family since they were all there. It didn't happen which I was really sad about but they still have the memories I guess. Usually one or two are missing so it was nice everyone was able to go.

Brig had a tough time waking up. He takes after his dad and likes his beauty rest!

The boys were glad that Grandpa Steve was able to come.

For their activity and games on Saturday, someone brought up a chicken. The object was to release the chicken and then see who of all the kids would be able to catch it and bring it back for a prize. Problem is, the chicken, when released, shot straight through the circle of kids and bolted off into the woods with about 30 screaming kids chasing after it. Camp got really quiet for about 30 minutes till one of the leaders finally was able to corner the chicken and bring it back. The game didn't really work the way it was expected to, but I think the boys had fun.

The boys had so much fun sleeping under the stars, playing with pocket knives (so glad I wasn't there to see that), playing games and hanging out at the fire.  They had a rough end to the trip though which included Scotts truck having issues something to do with a fuel pump or something and they had to get someone else from the ward to pull the trailer home.  Thank goodness there was someone there able and willing to do that.  For the most part it was a fun get away and it was nice for me to have a break from all those boys and have some girl time.  (that post soon to follow!)
