Eli wondering what would happen if he touched a burning stick from the campfire
to a tent. Not our tent, of course. Well, he found out. Kevin, we're Soooooooo sorry.
First time trying out .22 rifle in a creek bed shooting water bottles and clay pigeons off of a log. Eli went last of the group of men and boys. He shot 9 out of 10, best of all the boys, and most of the men. I'm pretty sure he gets his dead shot abilities from me. Wait...no...that would be Adam.
Eli was so excited, he just wanted to be in the tent. So, he just went in that tent. And he was just there. And he just loved it. :)
Thanks Adam, for taking him on the Fathers&Sons Ward Campout! (We don't know if Kevin thanks you for taking him though....)

The tent story reminds me of the tent I brought back from the Boy Scout National Jamboree I went to. It lasted a couple years, until I loaned it to the stake Young Women's camp - where somebody torched half of it. Eli I can understand, but those sweet little young women?
Oh no! Half you tent? Luckily, Eli's experiment was completed after one small hole. :)
