Daddies and Daughters
Friday night Ryan and the girls went to the ward campout at Granger Lake. It sounded like fun beyond their wildest dreams, but then again I just got bits and pieces of the trip, mostly including what I can gather from pictures. As expected, there was a little bit of lake, always complete with collecting bugs, sticks, rocks and the like.
A lot of running around and playing with the older kids. Activity of choice? Playing Three Musketeers, among other makeshift night games. These girls got to stay up late!
The constant in and out and in and out and in and out that a tent has to offer.
A little bit of sister time.
Some quality daddy daughter time, and what is quality time without candy and silly faces? Hands down this was both twins' favorite part of the trip. And in case you were wondering, no remains of this stash came home.
I am told there was a little bit of sleeping between the hours of 2 am and 7 am. The twins were apparently out like a light at 10 and slept pretty well. They must be immune to the sound of snoring that kept Ryan awake, tricky thing since he is often the perpetrator of such snoring. :)
Finally when morning came around, the twins were well rested and enjoyed a pancake breakfast before dashing home to the soccer game. Liv and I, knowing when we're not wanted, spent the night with ice cream, Project Runway, and peace and quiet. Maybe we'll be invited next time!
(ps. I had three dads stop me in church today and tell me how funny the L & M were at the campout. My response: they would have moved there if we'd let them!)

What a great Dad to take his daughters camping! Your Dad was so glad when scouting was finished so he didn't have to do that anymore! Way to go Ryan! I loved seeing the camping pictures! I love seeing those precious faces!
Ryan's such a good dad! Beth and I used to LOVE Daddy-daughter camp outs. I now love Father and Sons, because it's the only time all year I get an entire night alone to do whatever I want. I thought I'd hate it at first, but now I look forward to it every summer.
Well we saw no sign of L&M camping, but we did end up right next to a huge flock of young scouters. Ahhh I think that made James a little sad for his lost scoutmaster days.
I am glad to hear that there was a little sleep going on around your camp sight. We got the kids little flashlights and I have no idea what time it was when they finally fell asleep and let go of the little lights.
I hope that there were some serious naps going on at your house after soccer, I know that we all enjoyed a few hours of extra sleep on Saturday. Maybe next time we can all go and see if Liv is as lively as the others.
Funny story: Ryan was looking at these pictures and said "Those girls are so silly" and the very next picture was your Ryan acting silly too!! I wonder where they got it...
