I suspect you are thinking that I will write a post about the valiant young ladies and not so young ladies that lead them at girls camp. That would be a good post, however; my intentions are to write about boys night out that resulted from our wives and daughter's sacrifice to go camping in tents into the wood with 95 degree weather during the day and thunder and lightning storms at night.
Since the women are required to be so strong at girls camp I guess the only reasonable conclusion is that the men in this case are the weak ones. I am 50 now and can accept that status if indeed it is warranted. And in this case I enjoy that status as shown by what my good friend and his son and I did while we were celebrating boys night during the week of girl's camp.
Fred gave me a call and so we had him over for dinner. I made some yellow squash and onions with a little cheese on top. For the main dish my daughter (beyond camp age) made some chicken helper. And later for desert we went to Bruster's ice cream. I didn't feel bad at all that my wife and daughter along with his wife and daughter's were in the hot and rainy weather being strong while we were enjoying a nice discussion over a delicious sundae in an air conditioned ice cream parlor being weak.
We dealt with a thunderstorm as we drove to the ice cream parlor. He recently back from a tour in Afghanistan was driving a little bit odd, too slow, cutting the car off behind us, and staying away from the right side of the road, but we got there and were even smiling and having fun. A nutty coconut and graham central station sundae went down very nicely. Now I got to see what the ladies do when we have Priesthood meeting at conference time. Nice.
i would rather have ice cream, a thunderstorm, and air conditioning too ;) especially if it was brusters ice cream!!!!! less than 6 months til i get to have it again!!!!!!
