Father & Son Outing

Friday night Matt, Nicky and I went on a Father and Son Outing with our ward to the Burraston Ponds near Mona, Utah. It was a great time - we cooked tin foil dinners, played games, skipped rocks in the ponds, and roasted marshmallows on the campfire. Of course there was the typical things that happen at this sort of event - like the kid yelling at the top of his lungs until 1:00 am and the birds that start chirping at about 4:30. Plus the air mattress loses just enough air that your back and butt are dragging on the ground all night. Good times.

Matt teaches Nicky the fine art of dragging a marshallow in the dirt before roasting it. Now that's the best kind of seasoning.

Nicky was the most excited to sleep in the tent. If you click on the picture to see the larger version you can see the punch mustache he sported the entire camp.

After the campout was over, we met up with Grandpa Anderson on his land near Fountain Green, Utah to ride the 4-wheeler and shoot guns!! We invited him to sleep over with us at the Father & Son Outing, but for some crazy reason he thought he wouldn't get much sleep. Boy, was he right.


Matt takes careful aim and it pays off...


He pretty much destroyed this Bud Light can with the .22 rifle. We had a great time!!

Blaine, I thought you gave up the Budlight! Ha Ha
It looks like you guys had a great time, and I love Nicky's mustache. It just needs a little marshmellow cream to top it off.

You notice I waited until after I left the ward campout to break out the Bud. Otherwise they would drink it all :)

I heard that Nicky "shooted the gun" too, you're introducing them to guns and beer already? :) haha
