Father Son Campout


So the church put on a father son campout, and Kurt & Emmitt were so excited! It was Emmitts first campout! They spent the night in a local campground and had quite an experience. Apparently there's a pack of bears that LOVE the campground and come often. They were warned of the bears when they arrived. (Good thing Kurt didn't tell me about the warning earlier! Definitely would NOT have camped there!) Anyway they woke up to loud crashing noises near the tent at 2 am. Kurt peeked out and saw a bear not inches from their tent digging through a trash can. They took video of the scene that all the campers soon woke to. 3 or 4 bears rummaging the campground....completely unbothered by the campers. Obviously used to being around people. They were smart and kept their distance but how scary!! My little 3 yr old camping with bears!! They were kept up all night by the noise. They had a pancake breakfast before the left the next morning. And home came my filthy boys with bear stories! "Mommy there was a BIG bear!!" Oh my goodness.....
