The Annual Father's & Sons Outing

Dad gave me this awesome new pack. Now I don't have to lug around a suitcase. My pack has a bunch of pockets for all of my stuff.
This is dad & me by a tree by Living Waters.
This is dad and me in front of Living Waters.
This is Dad & me, my camping friends, and their dads. This was taken at our camp site. At our camp site I liked to tend to the fire and lay in the hammock. I slept in the hammock. It felt like I was sleeping on air.

"My Survival Hike"


So, Cameron, Ben, Josh & Luke, Nathan and I were exploring a little trail at Zion’s Camp. We saw a cliff and walked toward it and noticed a trail next to the cliff. Ben and Luke didn’t want to go on the trail. The rest of us started to go down, but it was much steeper than we thought it would be, so we couldn’t get back up that way. So, we started to get a little scared. Cameron noticed a really narrow passageway. While we were hiking through the passage we had to grab onto rocks to hoist ourselves up. I was holding onto a rock, but I started to slip. I noticed Nathan found an easier passageway, so I let go in order to go that way. I got Cameron and Josh to go that way too. It was sort of hard because it was steep, but it was easier because we had trees to hold on to so we wouldn’t fall down. I was the first one to get back up to high ground. Josh was pretty scared by this time, and Cameron and Nathan were behind him. Josh was frozen in fear and started to cry. Josh’s dad came and literally climbed down to help Josh. He got Josh. Nathan slipped, but grabbed onto a tree, and then he and Cameron got up to the top.

Hey Thomas, thanks for sharing about your father's & son's outing. It sounds like you had a challenging exploration too. Cool pack. (Brian bought me a cool pack when we went on our honeymoon and then I couldn't carry it, so he had to carry 2!!!) :)

I liked your pics.
