Last Friday night I had the awesome opportunity to go on a daddy-daughter campout. As the girls get older and I get older I guess Dad gets less exciting to hang out with. When given the choice of coming with me, only two of the girls decided that was what they wanted to do with their Friday night. (And let me be perfectly clear: the option was to stay at home. No big plans for anyone. Basically a campout with Dad just didn't seem particularly awesome. I guess I had some foresight when I
blogged our campout in 2011.)
But Graci, Sophi and I had a great time! We returned to Clover Springs for the first time in seven years. The campground is pretty remote and the stars were absolutely fantastic. Hot dogs, s'mores, and egg mcmuffins for breakfast made for a great menu. The first year we went on a daddy-daughter campout we started a funny tradition. On a pre-camp shopping trip I saw
Funky Flames in the camping section at Walmart. We tried them out, the girls loved the colors, and now they want them every time we go.
Having Taylor leave for school has really driven home the reality that our time with these angels in our household is limited and short. I am so grateful for opportunities like these that provide the chance to create memories that will help sustain me when more of them are gone.
