Well, as you can see from the last post, the first thing they do is find a big stick. Then they proceed to have stick fights with said sticks whenever there is a lull in the action of the weekend.
When not trying to pound each other with sticks, they were seen running through the woods with guns (laser tag guns) in hand, scaring all the wildlife within a half-mile radius. This is what was occurring when Evan got tangled in some barbed wire.

Boys
On our camping trip this weekend there were five 14 year old boys (one for each family). If we throw in little brothers, our boy total for the weekend was 12 (not counting dads). So, I devote this post to 'What do boys do when they go camping?'
Of course, they thoroughly enjoyed outdoing their dads in all the organized activities. Eating was big on their list of fun things to do, as well. Lest you think we are raising a bunch of brutes, they also participated in some more refined activities. Here you see them discussing whether or not a republic is the best form of government. I kid you not, that is really what they were discussing!
And lastly, they took a quiet moment to put on the first ever guitar/chanter concert. Okay, there really wasn't a quiet moment the entire weekend - there were 24 kids there, remember!
So. there you have, that's what our boys do when camping.

actually, Mrs. Johnson, it was a debate about whether a theocracy would be the best form of government. But you were close enough.
