We camped at Camp Zion on Mt. Lemmon. It's got nice facilities, including pallets for tents, a mess hall, an amphitheatre and outhouses with toilet paper! The city of Tucson is right behind me in the above picture. The city lights were pretty amazing when we came back to our tent after the program.
Chubs was excited to sleep in his new Darth Vader sleeping bag. I was excited to sleep on an air matress.
The next morning, there were 15 carnival games set up for the boys. There was a ring toss, lawn darts, steer lassoing, a cross betweeen a battering ram and bowling, paper airplanes, a jumping castle, and several others.
Of course, walking around on a montain can be treacherous. The paved paths help but little boys aren't very good at staying on paths.
This is the sad face after tripping over some rocks.The overwhelming favorite activity was the rockets. We made tubes of construction paper, taped a soda bottle cap on top, and added some fins for stability.
The launcher was a PVC frame with a tube coming off one end with a two liter bottle attached. Place the rocket on the pipe sticking up and stomp on the bottle.It probably would have been one of the best fathers and sons campouts even if chubs had puked on the way up.
