Little Camper Fashion Show

Since it is Valentine's weekend and all I thought I would give a little shout out to my husband. There are a number of reasons why I love my husband, but one big reason is because he makes me laugh. Chad can be down right silly once you get to know him really well and I love it.-Probably because I am a bit silly myself. So for those of you who haven't had a chance to see Chad's sillier side here's your opportunity. It all started with the Young Men thinking it would be a great idea if they went on an overnight campout and went ice fishing. My first thought was that they must be crazy! I mean really...it's February in Nebraska people! Not exactly camping weather if you ask me. But I'm more of a middle of the summer camper when I'm sure I'm not going to freeze to death during the middle of the night. So Chad's been on the hunt for a bunch of winter camping gear. And thanks to my cousin Cindy, who happens to be an expert on winter camping, he was able to find a super nice sleeping bag that will keep him nice and toasty warm in the freezing cold. Along with that he purchased gloves, boots, and some coveralls.-Basically he is set for life in the winter camping department as far as I'm concerned. He came home from school today and proceeded to bring out loads of clothing items that he planned to wear. He then proceeded to try every single piece of clothing on.

Outfit number one had me laughing out loud already! Thermals, swishy pants that I don't know the name of, and boots. Yep..that's pretty hot stuff!
Outfit number two: All the same clothing with one more layer of those fabulous black stretchy pants.
Outfit number three: He is still wearing all of the items from the previous two pictures and now has pants on top of that all.
Outfit number four included all of the items above plus these one and only black farmer winter coveralls! Now I know you are all getting jealous of these babies!
Outfit number five was a slight dress down from before. Minus the jeans and coveralls and adding the oldest shirt he has combined with a beanie.
Outfit number six included a little fleece zip-up jacket.
Outfit number 7 I think he might be going for the Spiderman look here.
And last, but not least outfit number seven: I wasn't quite sure about this one at first. It looked more like a sleeping bag for his head.
Well there you have it folks. Chad's own camping fashion show. Thanks Chadley for giving me such a good laugh! It totally made my day! Love you!

Oh my heck, those are all very funny, but after having dad and all of his camping clothes,(along with some of his regular outside, backyard only clothes) he actually doesn't look too far off for outside camping. Hope he had lots of fun, if camping could EVER be fun!!!

Love the fashion show! Remember our little camping trip to Jackson Hole?!? I still have cravings for starbursts on the dashboard every now and then! And then comes sleeping in the car! We sure stayed warm didn't we?!?

LOL That is awesome. I'm with you, Michelle, if and WHEN I go camping it is definitely not in the middle of WINTER!

So funny! Richard is going camping with the scouts too! I really don't understand the winter camping thing either. I think he has the same black farmer overalls. Too funny!

Are those Carhart's? Good choice. Women just don't get us. I mean just because we don't pack a blow drier and a flattening iron with us they have to make fun of our cover-alls. I think they're jealous..really. :-)
