Campout

These are the pictures the boys brought home from their camp out earlier this month

You remember, the one conveniently scheduled for my birthday.

I really didn't mind.

Belen and I had a unique opportunity to spend a special evening together.

Just the two of us.

And when Saturday night rolled around,

(The day after my birthday)

Zak took me out on a birthday date!

Dinner, birthday burger at Red Robin.

You too can get a free birthday burger if you sign up for their Red Royalty card.

Did you know that they will put a veggie patty on ANY of their burgers?

I did.

It's amazing.

I got the classic burger (veggie patty) with A-1 sauce added.

OH MY!

Then we went to a movie.

While waiting in line to purchase our tickets a gentleman announced, standing nearby, that he had tickets (for the movie we'd wanted to see, in 3-D no less) that he was giving away.

FREE.

We took the tickets.

He walked away. 

We entered, and gave our tickets to the ticket-taker.

He directed us to the correct theater.

We chose seats (there may have been only those two seats left, together even. Lucky us).

We enjoyed our movie,

in 3-D,

FREE!

But I digress.

Here is what the boys did while Belen and I had our girls night:

Early morning by the fire.

Sharing some warmth.

Exploring a cave during an early morning hike.

Just hanging with Dad.

Here's what I heard about the trip

They stayed up WAY late.

Camden slept like a rock.

Not surprising, this kid will sleep anywhere!

Dad didn't sleep much at all.

They woke up at the crack of dawn.

Several hours before Camden normally wakes up.

Camden cried when it was time to break camp and load up the cars to go.

He slept the whole two hour drive home.

Then cried again when he saw me.

AND ran away from me.

I think he would have ran all the way back to camp if he could have.
