Would you believe that I let my husband take a 1.5 year old camping with him? I had no choice, I was working the weekend of the camp out and Brad took Ethan along for the ride. If you notice the pictures, Ethan was perfectly content just wandering away as long as he had teddy with him, which Brad said he did often and so he had to keep a close eye on him (what he would have done otherwise I have no idea). But i loved to hear the stories and am glad I wasn't there to witness them. Like Ethan saw all the boys throwing their cups and plates in the fire, so Ethan walked over to the cups, picked one up and went back over to the fire and threw it in (Silent gasp from me when Brad was telling the story). Or wanting to play with the big kids, like the last picture, he looked at Brad like "come on dad, no pictures"! He didn't want Brad to follow or be involved when he was trying to keep up with the kids, especially when they wanted to climb the mountain was when Brad stepped in and took Ethan half way up. Ethan wasn't a very good sleeper through the night and rolled everywhere and kept Brad up worrying about him (cute huh). Overall I think they had a great time. Ethan came back wearing the same outfit that I sent him in, but I guess so was Brad (Yes the diaper was changed and not water logged when he got home). Brad is a good Dad and took great care of my boy! I don't know what I was worried about!
