This post could also be named "Father of the Year." Ben took our two big kids camping last weekend (yes, it's March, we all were aware of that)- just a quick, after work, over night campout. He didn't tell the kids until he got home from work and when he told them the good news, you would have thought he told them he was taking them to Disney Land.
I am a fair weather camper (literally) and was not sad at all to stay home (warm) with my two babies (dry) and enjoy them all to myself (comfortable) while the tough ones camped. And they saw all kinds of weather in one short evening and night- rain, snow, sun and COLD!
Oh, but they had a blast. And they really have the best (and coolest) dad ever.
Friday night, with the tent set up!
After they ate, the sun went down and when it was pitch dark at 7:30 (and cold), there was nothing else to do but go to bed. But they were well stocked with treats, mind you...
In the morning, the kids wanted to "hike" so they walked over to a river.
They got to throw rocks, buried in snow, into the river. They loved that.
After breakfast and cleaning up camp, it was time to head home.
A quick recap of their weekend on video. Notice they admitted to being very cold at night but they could have cared less- they were camping and LOVED it! Thanks Ben. You really are the best dad!

I bet they had plenty to eat-a costco bag of skittles or something:)
Looks like loads of fun!!!!!
That's exactly why kids need dads...to do all the crazy things that their mothers won't do. Hopefully we can all go camping this summer with warm weather.
