FMCHE – our homeschool group – has an annual Father-Son Camping Trip. This year it was at Itasca State Park in MN. Eric has taken the boys each year (they’ve been at least two years old). This year, Greg went out early on Thursday with friends.
Though Eric does this, it’s always during Spring planting. However, it’s that bonding with ONLY boys that they need…and I think he (Eric) needs it, too. To be around Catholic dads who support what we are doing and the goal we have in mind.
So, Friday, May 17, 2013 at around 3pm, they were packed and ready to leave the farm. It’s about a three hour drive to Itasca.
Louis, with his new ‘Cars’ fishing rod, above. Graham fishing, below. Eric said they caught a few fish. One of the other dads is gracious enough to clean the fish and they’re usually eaten that day.
Oh, yeah. It typically rains during their trip. It makes Eric feel better about leaving the farm (this year we need the rain)! And, it makes for wet everything at the campsite. Raining makes it more of an adventure…wouldn’t ya say?
The guys are usually back Sunday afternoon, but with the rain here, it might be later this evening.
