I never thought it would happen, but in May, James took Tyler on our ward's Fathers and Sons Campout. They even slept in a tent -- overnight! Neither James nor I, are big camping fans, so you can imagine how surprised I was when James decided he wanted to go. It helped that many of his and Tyler's friends were going to be there and also that some other friends lent us camping gear.
Tyler loved going camping with his dad, and was extremely well behaved, according to the reports I received. They had dinner on the way up, but roasted marshmallows and made smores with the Elison's. Around 9 pm, Tyler told James he was tired and walked to the tent and went to sleep, all on his own. They had breakfast in the morning, packed up and headed home.
The next afternoon, I found Tyler like this on the staircase. He was too tired to make it up the stairs to his bed (or the bathroom) before he fell asleep. Overall, I'd say that his first campout was a complete success!

Good to see an update! I hope you guys are enjoying California. We miss you!
Cute pictures! I wish Mark would have taken his camera. Tyler is such a good boy! If Mark told the kids to go to bed they would have walked into the tent just to walk out again. We sure had fun seeing you a couple of weeks ago!
