Day Camp

This year was Hunter's first cub scout Day Camp. He was really looking forward to it, and so was I, since I got to go with all the scouts this year. All the boys had a ton of fun, and they earned a lot of achievements and electives towards their ranks.

Father's Day

This year for Father's Day, Cahl wanted to go up in the mountains- somewhere we hadn't been before. So we packed up a lunch, swimsuits and towels, the kids and dog and off we went. We drove several miles up past Crouch, and found a cool little hot springs right on the edge of the river. The kids had so much fun playing in the pools and doing push ups in the river. Even Mason loved wading into the warm pools!

 

After we swam and played for a while, we had lunch and drove farther up. We found another cool campground right on a creek with a nice little shallow area for the kids to play. Once we made it back down the mountain, we stopped for dinner in Crouch before heading home. It was a lot of fun, and now we have some great spots in mind for camping.

 

Dairy Days

Cahl and I took Hunter and Brinley down to the little carnival for Meridian Dairy Days. They had a lot of fun, rode all the rides and played some games.

 

 

 

 

Survivorman

Cahl, Tristan and Jasen went on a scout camp this weekend called Survivorman. They hike a couple of miles up toward a lake, and once they get mostly there, the leaders stop and make camp and the boys have to hike up a bit further and make their own camp alone. They are supposed to pack like it is a day hike, and they don't bring tents or sleeping bags. The boys have to make a shelter, fire, and stay the night by themselves (in a group, but with no leaders). It sounded like they had a good time, with the exception of being cold at night, and I definitely think they'll look forward to going again next year!

 

 

Cahl caught a fish and asked one of the boys to take his picture. This is what he got! Hahaha!
