The Klondike

Today was the day Danny has been anticipating for the last month! The Klondike!!! Yup, his first scout camp out. After school, he came home and told me it was the "longest day ever" because he couldn't wait to go on the camp out. He also said that he had this "tickling feeling" in his lower stomach all day. You would have thought he was going to Disneyland! Because he's only 11, Jeff had to go with him, which was just fine with Jeff. He likes going on camp outs...even in the snow. They both had a blast. Danny ended up sledding all night long. The following day, they participated in a ropes course and played on a zipline that crossed a lake. They did actually do some scout stuff too...but, let's be honest, they really just went to play. Jeff didn't really take a lot of pictures so here's just one group shot and one that I took of Danny with his HUGE pack after they got home. Here's to starting another boy on his journey to his Eagle Scout award!

This was Jeff after the camp out!
