Father and Sons Camp Out

Last night, Chris and Dallin were able to go to our annual Stake Father and Son's Camp Out at White Plains Beach. This is their first one in Hawaii, and they have always enjoyed the ones they went to in Texas. They had a lot of fun, socializing, roasting marshmallows over the fire, Dallin playing Star Wars with the other boys, and chasing sand crabs with flashlights on the beach after dark. They camped next to Dallin's little friend Alema and his dad Chris from the Makakilo Ward.
I guess a big breakfast is a tradition out here. I love seeing men cook! It proves they can.
After breakfast they headed down to the beach for some boogie boarding. Dallin even came home with a little bit of a sunburn. A sunburn in January? I guess I forget we have to wear sun-screen year round out here. Go figure.
There was only one "incident." While Chris was loading up the car, Dallin disobeyed his Dad and went near the fire without him. He was barefoot after swimming, and stepped on a hot coal which left a nasty blister on the bottom of his foot. Hopefully he learned his lesson.
