Father & Son Camp

Does this picture look familiar? Each year all the fathers and sons are gathered at this place for a picture. Here is this year's picture, 500+ fathers and sons!

Can you find Matthew in this one?

He and Ken along with the other men in our fellowship headed down to Oakland for the weekend. Since Walnut Point State Park Campground was full, they all camped in Kyle and Gretchen's yard. {Big downer, Nate wasn't able to go!}

Breakfast!
Staying at Kyle & Gretchen is like staying at the Hilton. Kyle made them his famous biscuits and gravy. Yum.

The Path to the Shooting Range

Everything was so well organized and supervised!
Kyle and Matthew spent most of Friday here.

Gretchen and baby headed out to the rifle range.

Here they had guns to shoot as well as bows and arrows.

GREAT shooting Matthew!!

Kyle and Gretchen

Teddy Roosevelt visited the men and brought his special kind of encouragement.

Sergeant Jeff Streucker
Task Force Ranger

He's written his testimony in a book titled The Road to Unafraid.
It's the story of the incident in Mogadishu, Somalia made famous
by the book and movie Black Hawk Down.
Jeff is presently a U.S. Army Chaplain.

There were so many things for the men to do, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, paintball, games and competitions, clay pigeons and of course eating. =) (There is one other crowd pleaser I didn't list because I don't know if it's an official category, fire building and burning things "wink")






The weather was perfect and the scenery stunningly beautiful. Do I need to say that everyone had a great time??
