.Manly Camp

Air was gone last week on a camping trip.

This wasn't just any old camping trip, however. Last week Air decided to take a 19yr old kid he works with on his very first camp out and pretty much made his dreams come true.

Not to mention his own dream of camping while working!

They decided to go for three days. This kid was sooooo excited! You have no idea. And he had the time of his life! Air says the whole time they were there he just kept saying how awesome it was and how he couldn’t wait to go again ASAP.

Air was excited too.
I was, however, a little underwhelmed to be spending the week with no Air. Poor me, right? haha

Oh yeah, and I made them promise to take some pictures for me to see how they fared out in the wilderness.

See here:

They cooked, relaxed, watched animals, built fires, and hiked around Elk Island. (apparently they also made up some secret campfire songs? Air’s lips are sealed on that one)

Then, 'doo-dee-doo just drivin along…………..… oh hey, what’s that little black thing in the road up there?'

No. Freaking. Way. A HUGE buffalo was about five feet away from their car! Seriously?? When does anyone ever see wild buffalo anymore? You can't tell the size of this guy from pictures, but Air says it was about as tall as him--he's 6'2"!

I am jealous.

Maybe I’m just excited about buffalo right now because I’ve been reading a lot of pioneer stories for seminary lately… they are pretty cool looking animals though.
