Friday night, Fletcher and Kevin went camping along with two of his other kindergarten buddies and their dads. Kevin's company has several hundred acres of property nearby with some ponds and trails so they headed out there to spend the night. Here's the campsite.
This is the lake next to the campsite and the canoe.
The man with the plan. (Kevin said it was alot of work. But Fletcher probably said a hundred times that it was so fun and he can't wait to go again.)

Kevin said more than once that he was very thankful the Bass Pro Shop guy recommended that he buy a five man tent (for future possible trips for the entire family). Set up was super easy. That's a queen size air mattress in there with room for all their stuff.
Fletcher was the only one who caught a fish. One of the other dads took a picture of the actual fish. It was a catch and release although Fletcher wanted to cook it up and eat it.
Fletcher and his two buddies Noah and Tucker playing in the back of Kevin's truck while the dads fixed breakfast.
One of the highlights of the trip for Fletcher was getting to ride the four wheelers. Just in case you are curious, this is not an action shot. They were just playing on it.
Three buddies. Excited about camping for the first time.
They ate like kings. Hotdogs on Friday night with roasted marshmallows and Jiffy Pop Popcorn. Saturday morning, Kevin cooked bacon and eggs.
I wish I would have taken a picture of Kevin's truck before they left. It was filled to the brim with stuff just for one night - fishing equipment, cooking supplies, sleeping bags, clothes, first aid kit (at my request), chairs, food, toys (at Fletcher's request). Kevin said next camping trip will most likely be in our backyard! He is such a great dad!

Isn't it nice to see it all in pictures and not actually be there? :-) Especially since there's not bathroom in sight! I think we'll have to buy a bigger tent before Mark gets me to go camping again.
Congrats on kindergarten!
