1st Father/Son Campout!!!




Then I put him to bed. Some boys were growling and screaming by his tent, so he got scared, so I had to  put him to bed twice and wait for him to fall asleep. I went back to the main campfire, eventually. About 20 minutes later a friend of mine came walking up carrying Harrison. He had crawled out of the tent again and wandered barefoot though the woods. Luckily into my friend's campsite. At that point I laid down with him. He was wide awake and acting silly until about midnight. At around 2am he started crying because his nose was stuffed up. I brought all sorts of medicines, but not allergy medicine. He was inconsolable, so about 3:00am I finally asked if he wanted to go home and he said yes. I took the tent poles out, balled everything up and threw it in the back and we drove home. As far as he knows, we went camping. But we didn't go fishing, so we'll be going again soon :)
