Carson had a great time at his first campout. He got to stay up late and do lots of running around with the other kids. He was a little disappointed that there was no BB gun shooting or archery there as had been advertised. The whole group seems disorganized to me. So, on their way home Vic decided he would just stop and buy Carson a BB gun. :-0 Luckily, Vic got a spring-loaded and fairly low-powered one. Still, the thought of Carson using any type of gun is a little unnerving. He's not exactly good at focusing on what he's doing. He and Vic had fun shooting an energy drink can in the back yard. We didn't tell Carson where we're storing it, and it is locked. Maybe he'll forget about it until he's about ten. I doubt it.

Other than the BB gun action, it was a typical Saturday around here. The kids all played with their friends all day. The weather was a little warmer today but still beautiful.

Tonight we all went to eat at Beef O'Brady's. The kids love this place because it has an arcade. I like it because we can get a table by the arcade and let the kids play while we wait for the food. It is well worth a few quarters for peaceful conversation at the restaurant!
