Backyard Campout

Derrek has been wanting to take Mason camping for some time now. Because of his overly busy schedule we decided that the best chance he would get to actually have this camp out was going to be in our very own backyard. Mason was so excited to get to have his backyard campout.

Well the day passed and it was finally night time. We changed Mason into his jammies and grabbed his reveille (his favorite sleeping buddy) and the guys were ready to go. Derrek also stashed some chocolate away so that they could have a secret surprise when they got into the tent.

Here they are ready to go

Here they are in the tent ready for their night time campout.

I am proud to say that Mason slept out there the WHOLE night. I wasn't sure if he would or not but I was so proud of him for being such a brave boy. What a great experience for both daddy and son. I am pretty sure that after that fun event there will be many more a backyard campout in the future.
