Colton's Week long to White Pine Trail Head August 3rd to August 9th

(I am sooooooooo behind) This week long happened on August 3rd through 9th 2009! Colton went on a scout week long backpacking trip with his varsity scout troop. It was a very memorable week and one he won't forget for the rest of his life! Seriously and neither will his mom! Here are just a few pictures from it. During this very eventful week they ran out of water, their trail ended after only going 4 miles, and they climbed over great boulders. And I was only worried they might see some bears or mountain lions?! But Colton says it was the most spiritual week of his life. He came home 36 hours late, but we were just so grateful that he was home! And boy did they have a lot of stories to tell!

Girls Camp July 20th-July 24th

Kara got to go to her first week of girls camp this summer at Heber Valley girls camp. There wasn't much roughing it though because they had cabins with showers, ice machines, and all the luxuries you could ask for. There was a lake there that they got to go canoeing on and they worked on certification each day. She got to know the girls better that were in our ward and in our stake. I had told her a little bit of what to expect when you go to girls camp and one of the first thing she said to me when I picked her up was, "The girl camp you talked about was nothing like the girls camp I went to. We did no roughing it at all." She came home exhausted and slept that night for 16 hours. I was so grateful for the camp leaders that gave up the whole week to spend time with the girls and planned all of the activities. They did an amazing job! Thank you so much.

It is about time!

I am making my blog page private. I got a quick kick in the pants when I realized the blog page I am doing for the middle school (which incidentally has 900 students) is linked to my personal blog pages. So just letting everyone know this will be private page after I come home from Education Week!
