We had a great time for sure. None of us are card players, but after dinner we went back out for a pre-sunset gopher walk, then had some refreshments and BS until dark.
That's my brother in the foreground, and he recently retired after 32 years on the Tacoma Fire Dept. Dad was also in the Tacoma Fire Dept for 34 years, and retired some years back. They both have a lot of stories to tell.
I didn't really grow up with them in my life, so since I've settled down, it's been great to spend some time with both of them. We all have a big interest in guns and reloading so there's tons of common ground. This was the first time we had camped together since the early 1960s when my brother and I were preschool age.
Just us boys. Great bonding. It meant a lot to Dad as well, as he's getting up in his 80s, and mobility is not what it once was.
