camping

Ryan decided it was time to take Braydon camping.  He wasn't up for all of staying, so Kellan and I just went and hung out and went home and slept in our beds (works for me!).  Braydon, Ryan and our friend Nick were all going to spend the night, but we had lots of friends hanging out until it got dark.  So we cooked food, had an impromptu water balloon fight, played with Tony & Crystal's new puppy, and just hung out.

Once it got dark, we sat around the fire.  Braydon wanted to tell ghost stories.  So we did.  Ryan was worried he might get scared, but he wasn't.  After a few ghost stories, Kellan and I headed home.

Ryan said after we all left Braydon asked a million questions.  Why is the fire popping?  He tried to go to sleep in the tent, but ended up sitting on Ryan's lap until he fell asleep.  He slept all night and woke up in the morning to a little rain.  I would call the first camping trip and success!
