Daddies are the Best!

Matt and his good friend Jon had this 'great' idea to take their kids camping together - without the mommies. At first I was a little hesitant - water, fire, and just dads to supervise. It sounded a LITTLE scary. However, I WAS won over by the idea of 48 hours completely to myself. There is a LOT that I can do in 48 hours with no kids around. So, it was settled and off they went into the high Uinta's.

McKinley and Mason - also note that somehow McKinley is wearing Mason's pants. Daddy didn't notice - even though I packed their clothes in separate bags (and McKinley's bag was purple!). All-in-all, they had a BLAST and can't wait to go camping with Daddy again! Thanks Daddy, in the end I got two happy (and tired) kids, and some much needed 'me' time! :)
