Birthday Campout

Ethan and Tyler's birthday tradition is a campout with friends. With all the boys' birthdays being in September and October they have found it fun to share their birthday celebrations. Adams birthday is also in October so this year he got to join the boys in their campout with his friend.

Ethan, Tyler, and Adams are great friends with brothers Brandon, Jordan, and Clayton...what a fun group of friends!Even though it is October in Alaska it has not been too terribly cold, yet. We have had a good frost, but then it warmed up. Actually the evening that the boys were camping it was unseasonably warm...it was 56 degrees even long after dark. It was rather windy, but the boys still slept out in their tent. The tent was aglow with light sticks!In the morning the boys cooked their own breakfast over the campfire and propane stove. Pancakes and bacon always taste so much better when eaten outside! And when they've been cooked by boys!!The boys spent the morning playing flag football and then cleaning up their camping gear. They also got to do some target practicing. BB guns and 22's are such fun!
