Here's the Scoop....

Jed took Benjamin on a Father & Son's campout on Friday night. Jed's been getting Benny excited about it all week. This was Benjamin's first experience with camping, sleeping in a tent, and perhaps even eating a smore! They had a lot of fun. Jed said that Ben was constantly wandering off... he would find a group of people, sidle up next to one of them, and then ask for some of whatever they were snacking on. :) A true scavenger. They went to bed at about 10:30pm, but Benjamin seemed to be wide awake. He asked Jed to tell him stories, and then they sang some songs... Finally, Benjamin fell asleep at about 11:30pm. He woke up at 3am or so saying he was cold, so he got into Jed's mummy bag with him. Sure enough, at 6am Benjamin woke up and was ready to go. It doesn’t seem to matter when he goes to bed… he’s still up at the crack of dawn! Jed took him on a walk in the woods in the morning. Benjamin particularly liked exploring the forest during the entire campout. Anyway, they had a lot of fun.

Here’s a video of clips of Benjamin at the campout and describing it to me at home. (The first clip is funny when he tells his little friend, Eirik, that he should take ‘that’ out of his mouth, saying “it’s dirty” when it was only a cookie. J And in the next clip, he is talking to his friend, Abram, about the colors on his shirt, and mid-conversation he tries to take a swig of Abram’s rootbeer!)
