Father and Sons

 Russ and Ridge had a father and son campout in May.  Here are the details in Rusty's words from his journal....

I came home and packed up to go camping with Ridge on the father’s and son’s outing.  We didn’t go to the stake one.  We went by ourselves.  It was awesome.  That is how I want to do it forever.  We kissed Mandie and the girl’s bye.  Then we drove up to Idaho City and found an awesome camp spot just north of there in 10 mile creek camp ground.  It was off the road and all by itself. We set up camp and started a fire.  Then we cooked dinner and ate it.  It was very fun.  We threw a few rocks in the creek right beside our camp and went “exploring up a little trail”.  We went to bed.  It was so fun.  Ridge talked to me the whole time.  He was so excited. 
On Saturday we woke up at about 7 and ate some breakfast. Then we built a fire and snuggle for a little while.  When Ridge was ready we went exploring again.  We started up the mountain finding rocks and flowers. When we got about half way up we went straight sideways.  It was very fun.  When we couldn’t see camp anymore he started to get concerned about getting lost.  We came back to camp.  Then we hiked up the trail and explored some more.  We found some logs to use as balance beams and walk across the river.  Ridge would not let me hold his hand.  It was very cute.  He would say I know you need my help, but you just need to learn to balance better.  I would walk behind him with my hands right close to him so I could catch him if he would fall in.  We also saw some mice coming out of a pipe.  It was an awesome day.  We left when Ridge fell into the creek and got wet.  We had a change of clothes so he was happy.  Then we came home.  He fell sound asleep on the drive.  It was so cute.
