Mark took Matthew and four of his friends camping for his 12th birthday at a lake about an hour away from Albuquerque. They had a great time and enjoyed spending the night in a tent, eating smores, fishing but not catching, and swimming. It was the first birthday night that I did not spend with Matthew, but I know he is getting older and had a great time with his dad and friends.

Matthew and Noah were the first two boys up

They were not allowed to have a camp fire so they sat around the lantern
