Our first camping trip

This weekend our Church had a father/son camping trip. Matthew was very excited to go and asked me every day if we were going camping today. Finally Friday arrived and we loaded up the car with all our stuff and met the other guys at our camp site. It was on a piece of property owned by a member of the Church and was complete with its own little pond.

We set up our tent and then went fishing. Matthew caught his very first fish!!! He had a lot of fun casting his pretend fish with his Mickey Mouse fishing pole and also playing with the other little boys in the sand with their trucks.

I was worried that he might not sleep well in the tent because he had never slept anywhere other than his bed at home, but he took it all in stride. He actually loved it and woke up on Saturday morning with a big smile on his face.

It was a lot of fun for all of us. I’m sure that Matthew will be excited to go camping again sometime!
