Scott lives out in the country and he has a pond that we've had lots of campfires at. Since this was my one weekend off til mid-June, we decided we should spend the day camping. So we loaded up in the afternoon and headed out.
Adam and Scott wanted to shoot Adam's guns right when we got there, so Sutton and I decided to have a little photo shoot.
There was a tractor out there, so Sutton spent some time sitting in the wheel.
Then he discovered dirt. He doesn't often sit in the grass/dirt without a blanket, so this was new and fun.
Then Adam stole my camera because he wanted to try to capture their targets in mid-explosion. This is a Mountain Dew bottle.
Scott shooting a watermelon.
Back to the interesting photos. Look at this cutie sitting in the tractor. He thought he was so big.
Who's that guy?
Oh, hi.
After target practice, Scott got to cooking. He's great in the kitchen, and on a campfire. Our appetizer was campfire queso.
Then the boys did a little fishin.
Sutton thought the fish was so cool. He kept sticking his fingers in its mouth. GROSS.
Then he played with some clay pigeons.
And chilled by the fire.
For dessert, Scott found this fun idea. We hollowed out oranges, put a refridgerated cinnamon roll in the orange peel, wrapped the whole thing in foil, and threw them in the fire.
While those were cooking, we ate our main course, campfire stew. SO GOOD. It had pretty much everything in it: ground beef, corn, potatoes, kale, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, garlic, jalapenos, beans and more.
This was one of our cinnamon rolls. Wasn't quite done, so we threw it back in the fire for awhile. They were yummy.
Hopefully we'll find a time this summer to actually camp and sleep outside. We want Sutton to love playing and being outdoors, gotta start 'em young!
