For Scout’s birthday, we planned a camp out.  It got delayed a few times because he wasn’t up to it after his tonsils, but today is finally the big day!  He invited a few buddies, and Micah and Jason were the adults on duty.  They headed to the Ortegas, and found a rad spot.  Micah brought about every kind of food imaginable, and was prepared with all things, for all weathers and all situations!  I knew they would have fun.  But when they came back with their stories, it seemed like a perfect night in any boy’s eyes!
They got to set up camp, played for hours, made a million s’mores, ate and ate, and got up and started over.  The best story was when they saw a huge 6 foot snake, and Seth said, “I love snakes”, and went over to pet it.  That snake turned around and hissed at him, and everyone ran for their lives!  Then, as they were all scared like little girls, the snake slithered away, and up into the wheel well of my car!  Micah couldn’t get it out, so they just started driving.  Luckily, somewhere along the drive, Mr. Snake came flying out of my car!  Funny story?  To them, yes.  To me, only because the ending was without a snake in my car.
Scout, happy belated birthday party.
