I love love love this pic of Kayden! He was so excited to go on his first Summer Scout Camp. This year they were hiking in Waterton. They were carrying all their gear and hiking to a couple of different spots. Kayden was pretty pumped, as evidenced by the big smile in the photo. So, we packed as light as we could (pack was about 30 lbs) and at 7 am sent him on his way! I will have to admit, this mama was a little worried about her oldest boy. I know that he is capable and all that, but man, that is a lot to carry. I need to remember that Kayden is not so little anymore!!
Anyway, they were originally scheduled to camp for 4 days, then because one of the areas had a lot of snow it was cut to three days. On the second day (later in the eve) we got a call saying that they were on their way home. They had been dumped on (snow AGAIN) on the way up and all their stuff was soaking wet. They had stayed one night, played during the day and packed up and headed home! I think they still had an awesome time - minus the crummy weather! Maybe next year our weather will be a little more like summer!!
Here is an example of how muddy it was after our hike on Friday. Do you think she kept those socks?
AH...good friends. That is so sweet! I love YW!
I love working with the YW in our ward. They teach me so much and bring so much joy to my life! Thank you ladies!
