Oh, how I love to go camping

Scott took Matthew on his first camping trip this weekend. Matthew has been so excited about this trip. He's been asking us about it several times a day for weeks. It was a boys only trip with Scott's friend and his little boy. Here are Matthew and Scott at the campsite.

Scott's friend, Todd brought their dog, Lucy, with them. Matthew was very excited about playing with Lucy! He's always telling me he wishes he could have a dog. Here are the boys and Lucy running around.

More running around!

Here's Matthew hanging out around the campfire.

Matthew stayed up long enough to have some s'mores.

They also did some fishing! Matthew got a fishing pole for the trip and he was so excited about it.

And he (with Scott's help) ended up catching the only fish of the day! Good job Matthew!! That's Todd helping him pose with his fish. Matthew told me the fish was "sticky."

Matthew had a great time and had lots of fun playing with Luke. Here they are having a little walk together. Matthew reported that he had a lot of fun, and I think there might be another camping trip in the works.
