Last week Ryan and I attended the Father's and Son's campout near Flagstaff at a place called Kelley Canyon. We had a great time setting up our tent and cooking dinner. Ryan roasted our delicious Polish sausage over the campfire and I cooked the corn on the cob.
In the morning we made some air powered rockets and Ryan fired the awesome potato gun. We also played a fun game called 'Cracker Whacker' where you tie a saltine cracker to your back beltloop with some fishing line and try to break the other guy's cracker with your rolled up paper.
We did bring our mountain bikes and went for a great ride along Forest Rd. 700. We wanted to make a loop along some other roads but I couldn't figure out the map, so we just stayed on the main dirt road. We made it almost all the way south to Munds park, but we were getting tired so we turned back at 8 miles or so (measured on my bike's computer) It was a lovely sunny and cool day in the north country of Arizona. We saw a couple of other bike riders, some ATV riders and a motorcyclist.
We took some snacks and gatorade to keep us going. Ryan is becoming a very good bike rider and made it the whole 16 miles without complaint. He is well on his way to earning the Bicycling merit badge in scouts.
As promised, here are the pictures...

Do you have to go on the Father's n Sons to play Cracker Wacker? That sounds like fun at my next party! Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI think we are going to try it out for family night too -
ReplyDeleteCool games & toys! we did mini-marshmallow blow guns. It was fun. How do you do the air rockets? We're going to have to try that.
