Fathers and Sons for Mikey, Dad and Lilly

Michael invited Dad to join him for his ward's Fathers and Sons campout held this weekend at the Blackhawk campground in Payson Canyon. Somewhat reluctant at first, because of the distance and his still healing foot, Dad made the decision to go since it is likely one of the last few times he will get to spend with his youngest son until we return from our mission. Michael barbequed pork chops and fixed his world-famous Dutch oven potatoes for dinner . . . the High Priests in his ward fixed hotcakes, sausage and eggs for breakfast. The evening included a short program and a list of 21 questions for fathers and sons to discuss together.

Lilly went along, too . . . and although she cried in the night for her mommy, this beautiful and precocious little 3-year-old enjoyed the perfect weather, the good food, and the chance to make happy memories with her Daddy and Grandpa Ed in the great outdoors.

How precious that he took Lilly. Josh is having a hard time accepting the idea of taking your daughter to "Father and sons" but I think that's such a great experience that most, if not almost all, daughters will never get to experience.
