AJC Campout

Over Memorial Day weekend, while Serenity and Ally were having tea parties, the boys, along with Aaron and Asher Chaffee (some good friends of ours), went camping, played with the campfire, watched Indian Jones at the local movie theater, ate a lot of red meat, roasted mashmallows, and figured out the RV, which we nicknamed "Howard."

It's official name was the AJC Campout because we all have the initials of A.J.C. We went to Fort Stevens State Park. On Sunday we went to the old military fort and saw the bunkers they used to defend the mouth of the Columbia. During World War II a Japanese sub was fired upon when it came to the surface off the shore.

The boys met a friend at the campsite, his name was Cameron. His parents thought Aaron and I were their two dads, especially when Aaron told them that we were headed to California because the Oregon Supreme Court wouldn't let us get married.
It was a blast, one of the best camping weekends I have ever had. It rained on Saturday night, but it didn't matter, we were inside the RV. Aaron and I were able to figure out a lot of the ins and outs of Howard, and taking the time to slow down and really spend some time with Avery was awesome. Here are some pics from the weekend.
