MY BOYS
Thomas and Matt went on their first Winter camping trip with the 11 year old scouts. The girls were REALLY jealous ;)
After spending an afternoon at Matt's favorite store, (REI of course) the two were happy to report that they were VERY prepared! "It was worth EVERY penny!" Matt assured me when they got home.
I am glad to see that the two of them survived hiking through 3-4 feet of snow, digging out the fire pit, cooking dinner and breakfast, putting up their tent and sleeping in their new "NUGGET" sleeping bags. Nugget is one of Matt's favorite phrases he uses when he gets great tidbits of information. Yes, the sleeping bags are really called Nuggets! How could we NOT get these sleeping bags? Leave it to Matt to find the perfect "nugget" of a sleeping bag!
They had a great time and enjoyed themselves in a "twisted sort of way" as Matt calls it :)
Great company, great snow, and amazing scenery. It is fun to live life vicariously through our boys!

Looks like fun! Dave had a big snow campout planned for his Teachers Quorum on Friday night and after a month of preparation - NOT ONE BOY SHOWED! Only Dave and his 2 leaders. There was even a dad that was supposed to come with his son and they wouldn't even answer their phone! I think it just comes down to laziness - with the boys and their parents!
Dave would have still gone with Bronson but Bronson had to be at a merit badge clinic early Saturday morning. Next time it will be just Dave and Bronson and he won't plan on the others!
They will cherish these memories forever, I'm so thankful my grandkids have the best parents, its so wonderful how all 16 of them have the very best parents that they could have, thank you for loving and taking such good care of them!
