Father-Son Weekend Camp

Jacob and Jim arrived home from their camping trip Sunday evening after spending an extra two hours sitting in a traffic jam on the freeway. They had a wonderful weekend along with Jacob’s good friend and his dad, who coincidentally is one of my oldest buddies. The camp they attended is owned and operated by a Catholic organization, although you do not have to be particularly religious to go there. The father-son pairs participated in many organized activities together, including horseback riding, archery, swimming, and a multitude of outdoor games. And for those of you who think that Catholics do not have a sense of humor – the bathroom building at the campground was officially labeled “St. John.” After leaving the camp on Sunday, the foursome visited Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City before heading home. Here are a few pictures snapped by Jim.

This horse loved Jacob.
