Father's and Son's Campout

Luckily Matt was second call and was able to take the boys to the Fathers and Sons campout.  Matt also took one of Bridger's friend Bracken because his dad had to work.  They had a lot of fun playing together. They've become good friends.  Matt packed up the camping gear and headed to Downey Idaho.  It was about an hour away.  Matt made my white chili and won the chili cook off!! We've joked about it all week and then he actually won.  They have a really nice "chili trophy" that they were awarded and a medal but you have to turn the trophy over to the winner next year at the campout.  But it's still an honor to win it! Matt joked that he's going to display it on our piano.


Friday night after dinner, Chase, Bridger and Bracken went swimming at the Downata Hot Springs.  Even though it was a little chilly outside, the water was warm and they had a fun time swimming.  Unfortunately around 4:00 AM it started to rain and continued to rain all morning.  At 6:00 Matt rolled over and his hand went in a puddle of water INSIDE the tent.  So Matt decided he had had enough camping and woke up and helped cook breakfast.  He said our tent has had a little too much camping.  Bridger said "it's gotta go!"  I guess it's not waterproof anymore.  But other than the rain, everyone had a fun time.  Matt is such a great dad!  I'm so lucky he's willing to take our boys on these adventures and make wonderful memories!!
