Little Boy Heaven

"Fathers & Sons" the church camp-out for boys & their Dads - seriously the highlight of the year for Jacob.
He asked every day for the week before if it was the day to go.

Rick got him a little fishing rod. I thought it was bound to end in disaster, and envisioned lots of tangled line & a hook lodged somewhere in Jacob's body. However, it was great & Jacob caught not one, but TWO fish - reeling them in entirely by himself.

I think the look on his face tells you all you need to know!

He apparently also spent a great deal of time playing in the fire. On Saturday night I washed his hair, rinsed it out, then did shampoo again, rinsed and conditioned. When he got out of the tub, his head still smelled like campfire!

One of the guys in the ward had his boat there. The next day Jake went out with the boys. Again, a picture tells a thousand words - Jacob is the one on the right.

Jacob really had the GREATEST TIME OF HIS LIFE.

Rick took these pictures with his phone. I didn't dare send my camera with him (I love it way too much) and wanted his entire focus to be on keeping Jacob alive (there were several pep talks and some eye rolling before they left.)

Next year though, I think I will at least send the point & shoot, because this is just too priceless to miss. I sure love my guys!
