Camping [BOYS ONLY!]

The boys were invited on a really fun [BOYS ONLY] camp out in May. Tanner's friend Jonas had a birthday and all he wanted for his birthday, was to go camping with his friends and their dads. So, his dad arranged this camp out. How fun is that? So they packed up and off they went to Charleston.

The Civil War began on James Island on the morning of April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces at Fort Johnson fired on Union-occupied Fort Sumter. Both forts were located on the island's northern shore. --[whats a better place for a boys camp out than JAMES ISLAND?]--

They ate jambalaya

Told scary stories (or really just funny strange stories, like a man that turned into a rat? not sure of the details, as I wasn't there... just heard second hand) Saw fireflies for the first time, and stayed up really late. One of the funny things that happened on this trip was that Anson sat up in his bed in the middle of the night, raised his hand and said, "I'll do the dishes!" then laid back down and went to sleep.

The next day they played at the beach bright and early.

Searched for treasures

Body Surfed

Ran away from waves

Walked on the beach

Boogy boarded

Played in the sand

Walked along the pier

Then headed to see the --[MAN STUFF]-- like these guns

They watched a video & took a tour of the battleship

These are the battleships "score cards" It shows what they have destroyed.

What about these babies?

How about these planes?

So cool! The boys were LOVING it! And so were the dads!

They also toured a submarine

Most of the gang that went camping, some had to head home after the beach

More playing around the fort

All the boys had a lot of fun, and so did the dads.
It was a great camp out!
