Jaydan and Daddy's Camping Trip

As you know, from time to time, we struggle w/ behavior problems with our little Jaydan. If you've been a follower of this blog, you also know that we have NO problem bribing our son. So, one week he said he wanted to go camping and we seized the opportunity for shameless blackmailing. IF he was good at Ms. Kate's all week, THEN he could go camping with his Dad. Well, it was a struggle but he did it! Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn't get the memo and it was COLD that Thursday night. So, Daddy built a campground in the middle of the living room and they did their camp-out right there. It was probably a good way to get their feet wet, because honestly, neither of them has a whole lot of experience in this department. They have since graduated to camping in the garage and one time even the back yard or "ward" as Jaydan calls it. As a former Idahoan, it has been difficult for me to let them do their thing w/out offering my two cents. They have spent a few very cold nights w/ not enough ground cover, and their "camping" involves a portable DVD player, BUT I do try hard to let this be their "thing". They are planning a real camp out when Grandpa comes this summer..... and in the meantime, you can find them practicing in the garage!
