Megan at Girl's Camp

Well it's been a while since I last posted. It feels like all I've done this past month is pack one kid after another for their various camps.
Trevor and David had a great time at the High Adventure. They said it was practically a perfect time except for the mosquitoes. They got to go boating on Cascade Lake and go Whitewater rafting besides the fun experience of hiking with a really heavy pack. I'm not too jealous though, I like my indoor plumbing just a bit too much for all the backwoods stuff.
Megan had a great time at Girl's camp. This years theme was ER (Eternal Rewards). Each girl got scrubs with their names embroidered on them. They got to go to the Twilight Mountain Theatre and watch a play of Footloose. We need to take the family up there to watch one of their productions. They look like a lot of fun.
Now it's Back to School mode for the next few weeks.

Summer Stuff

Preparing for the High Adventure

I've been slacking in my blog lately, so here's a quick update about what we've been up to this summer.

Trevor had his turn at the Allergy Dr. and his skin reacted a lot worse than Logan's did to the skin pokes. They only did a few because someone was kind enough to inform me how much the testing costs (after Logan's were already done). I about had a heart attack but thanked the nice lady for warning me in advance. Trevor and Logan are allergic to basically the same things. Grasses (they will still be mowing), cats and dogs, sagebrush, dust, and a bunch more. The medications seem to be working though.

Megan has been volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club here in Kuna. They have theme days on Fridays so Megan's picture is from Superhero day. She turned the Boys and Girls club Logo into a Super Volunteer Logo. She is getting ready to go to Girls Camp next week.

We had a nice visit from my friend Heather from Oregon. Her family stopped by on their way to a reunion in Utah. It was great to see her and her kids. I wish we were still neighbors.

Logan was at Scout Camp last week. Unfortunately I have no pictures to show because no leaders brought cameras but he had a great time. They even had to spend one night in a leaders camper because there was a bear roaming through camp. The mosquito's had a feast by the looks of Logan's arms and legs.

Dave and Trevor left this morning for the High Adventure. The picture is of 6 tents being aired out. We had a blustery storm roll in so it was pretty funny seeing us trying to get them down quickly. They are going around the McCall area. They will be hiking to Lakes and a wreckage of a B-23 Bomber. Then they will get to water ski and whitewater raft as well. It should be lots of fun. I did send a camera along, so we'll see if they actually take some pictures. It is strange to just have 4 people in the house.
