The Father-Son Campout

Pin It

This was the first year that Tim was able to attend the Father Son Campout with our church…He took the three oldest boys.  They loaded up sleeping bags and two backpacks of overnight clothes for the four of them.  One of the Church members has quite a large piece of property out in Honea Path, SC that has a large lake as well.

They met up at church and loaded up the church van and drove down to the property at about 4pm on Friday…Now you must realize that with a 6 year old, a 5 year old and one just a month shy of 3….that there was nothing they could think about all week except going camping!!!

Practically every day was “When is Friday?”, “When are we going camping?”, “Is it time for camping yet?” The boys were so excited to be able to sleep in sleeping bags outside in tents and to go fishing…

While my husband was away with the three oldest boys, my daughter had a friend come stay the night from church.  This probably was the ideal situation because the boys were all gone and not here to harass the girls and my youngest little boy could have cared less that there was a guest in the house .

Here are a few pictures of the boys…my husband sent them from his phone.

This is my oldest, Master A, and my husband said he has a natural talent for throwing the line out in the water, he did the best, better than my husband he said!!

My next oldest, Master J,..quite proud of his catch, this was their first time fishing and catching fish.

My youngest, Master P., with one of the other little boys from Church.

They came home, excited, dirty and talking a mile a minute about how much fun they had!!!

I am hoping that maybe for next year we can organize a Church camping weekend in addition to The Mother Daughter Luncheon and the Father Son Campout.  I have done that with a church we used to attend and I think we would have a really enjoyable time with this church.  We don’t have as many church members that would be camping but the few that would be able to go would make it a really nice time.
