Dworshak Scout Trip

The boys went on a Scout trip to the Dworshak Dam and Reservoir. This is a really boring post because I have no PICTURES! This is what happens when you leave it up to the boys to document our life. Although there are some in existence that others took but I have seen them and you just might be better off, dear reader, having not had that experience. You see many of them include Garrett in a Speedo. Which of course you know is very nearly naked! I'm sorry to all those who had to witness it first hand. Otherwise it seems they had a great time. This was Garrett's last trip as a youth. Todd went up half way through the week. Dallin earned the water skiing badge. Which I thought was pretty good since he had never water skied before. You have to cross the wake 4 times on each side. It doesn't count if you cross 5 times on one side and 3 times on the other. You also have to dodge something that they throw out of the boat. We are really lucky because we have a really strong scouting program in our ward. Every scout trip has a strong spiritual aspect. Something I hope my boys take with them as they become scout leaders. One scary thing, Dallin came home with a major rope burn on the side of his neck and under his chin. Kinda like his head almost got chopped off while they were tubing. When I saw some of the pictures where they were all jumping on top of each other while tubing I thought it was a good thing I wasn't there.
This was the same week that Bridget was gone for EFY so I had some alone time with the little ones. This was surprisingly fun and relaxing. I thought it might be rough with out the help of the older kids but it was so peaceful and we got to hang out at the pool and eat NickDonalds.
