Camping

Memorial Day weekend camping is a must.  For our weekend trip we went camping up past Shelton on the Olympic Peninsula.  It was a blast.  The trip was part of a church camping trip.  There were a number of families from our Ward that went camping at a LDS owned property and we stayed in the cabins.  We shared a cabin with 2 other families.  The Blume and Allen families.  We taught Andy Allen how to play Fluxx.  We cooked over a fire and had dutch oven dessert.  We threw a sport disc around.  I taught Mary Jo, Andy, and someone else how to throw a flick.

On the trip home we stopped for Blizzards at Dairy Queen.  Good old DQ.  We got home around noon and took naps.  Just in time for the Laker game 3.  Lakers won a tough game in Denver.  Went up 2-1 in the series.  Mostly just relaxed the rest of the day.  The Laker game was not relaxing.  Too close for that.  But after the win it was relaxing.

Sunday we went to church and took the day off.  Monday Mary Jo did not get up until 10:30.  We went to see the movie Night at the Museum : Battle for the Smithsonian.  It was good; not as good as the original.  Later we watched the Laker game.  They just could not get any rhythm going and lost.  What a horrible end to the weekend.

This may seem a strange way to introduce Tomas John Williams to the world.  If you feel so go talk to the Ultrasound Technician that said it.  Tomas will be Mary Jo and my first child.  We both want to have a bigger family.  Tomas will hopefully have a younger brothers and sisters and we will teach and prepare him to be a good older brother looking out for his siblings.  Mary Jo did express that she does not know what to do with a boy.  She is such a loving person that i do not feel she will have any real problems as a mother.  While i have previous experience with children (7 nieces and 7 nephews) i know being a father is a completely different ball game.  I hope to be a better father than my dad.  With my superiority complex how could i not.  I hope my grandchildren will have fathers that are better than me.  That is just the way of things.  But i am getting ahead of myself.  So introducing Tomas John Williams.
