Winter Campout

 12 inches of snow came just in time for Landon's winter campout! That boy is skin and bones, it made me nervous, so I bought him a gazillion hand warmers to shove in his shoes and pockets. Brother Hayes is such a great leader. He sent me all these pictures.

First CampOut

I swear he should still be an 8 year old wolf. And here he is a Boy Scout!! On his very first camp out.

Troop 55! They went to Arrowhead Springs and he got to stay in a bed with one of his bed buds, Adam!

Camp out!

Our ward is doing scouts a little differently. We have several boys who don't do scouts at all. So, they're trying a system to accommodate everyone. But Landon has really missed all the troop action. So, on Tuesdays he goes to our ward, for whatever is planned and on Wednesdays he is going to start going with our friend Scout Master Ken Cutler and his troop. His first meeting was last Wednesday and he had an absolute blast! Then this last weekend he got to go on his first campout as a 12 year old with Ken's troop. He passed off a few things, cooked and got to camp out with Tegan, his bff. Yes! So happy!!

Camping!

We went camping with Becky and her family and my dad. We hadn't ever been with them before! We stayed with my dad in his camper and even though there was plenty of room, Landon was dying to sleep in a tent, so he and Jeff slept outside. Which worked out somewhat well, when Syd rolled out of bed (and held her hands up to the wall to pick her up) I was able to bring her into my bed.

Jeff had smoked a turkey breast for dinner that night and then we toasted some marshmallows!

And Sydney Belle was super helpful to feed her Aunt Beck. Too bad Becky doesn't care for marshmallows. She does love her Sydney so she downed it.

Tim is officially taller than both these cousins. :)

Daddy picking his baby girl some flowers

We went to Stillwater, where we used to have family reunions. It was so beautiful!

FOOTBALL!

This beautiful girl was dry as could be the entire time we camped. She love how grandpa's camper flushed. 

Ugh.

If only we could have brought this potty home.

Hiking!

She didn't want to be in the family picture.... So she did this.

We found an A tree!!

For Atkinson, of course!

 We had so much fun. And then about 5 minutes before we left Syd fell out of Dad's camper and blackened her eye and cut up her nose. Poor baby!
