Boys Campout at Lake Afton

Ben takes a picture of Sam and Dad setting up the tent.

The completed tent!

How did this guy get on the end of my pole.

Doesn't everyone watch DVD's in the tent once it gets dark outside?

Doug is in the middle of 2 weeks of mandatory vacation from Bank of the West. It is a new requirement for all bank employees, with the purpose of discovering anything illegal that they might be doing. Apparently if they are doing something, it will be found out during the 2 week period. We spent the first week in California and Pittsburg, KS. The second week, Doug decided to give Mom a mini vacation by taking the boys camping. Sam and Dad have camped at Lake Afton the last 2 years on the night before Sam's birthday. This was Ben's first camping experience, as well as the first time to use the brand new bigger tent I bought probably 5 years ago on 75% off clearance at Target. The boys helped set up the tent and then went fishing. The next morning, the park ranger came by to tell them that the place where they had camped for the last 2 years, is now a no camping area. Oops.
