Boys' Night Out

Last Thursday and Friday, Jason, Regan and Spencer went on a cross country ski overnighter. The boys had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and they had a lot of fun. Only a few tears were shed, like the time Spencer's head got smashed under the sled. And the time Spencer's foot got twisted all the way around when his ski was stuck under the sled. And the time Spencer was too cold. And the time Spencer was too tired.

Regan also had good reason to cry when he tried to drink boiling hot water out of the water bottle, forgetting that his dad told him not to.

There was lots of fun too. Jason played enough Go Fish and War to last his entire lifetime. What else do you do when you settle into the tent at 5 pm and still have 3 or 4 hours until bedtime.

Cuisine in the snow. They all agreed-the food was awesome. I'm not so sure...

Jason had the fun job of hauling the huge sled, backpack and sometimes, Spencer.

It was an adventure the boys won't soon forget. I think it should be a yearly tradition. Before long, all the boys will be old enough to go and I'll take a real vacation!
