Scout Camp Here We Come


This has been a long awaited day around here. (not for me, but for them) I have seriously heard EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 6 months, how excited they are and how awesome this day will be.
They headed out bright and early this morning. They went to sleep in their clothes last night so they would be ready to jump in the truck this morning. I am so glad that they are excited about scouts. I am going to miss these boys. Life will very dull and VERY quiet around here. Joseph and Parker won't be back for 2 weeks. After scout camp they will be headed to the Appalachian Trail for a 6 day, 65 mile hike. In bear country. Nothing like hearing those words to put fear in a mother's heart. Those same exact words ellicit cheers and excitement from teenagers who have no sense.

I think Stephan may be just as excited about that hike as your boys.
I've heard about it for a LOOOOONG time! I think he requested off for work for it back in January.
