Greg has always been one to fulfill his callings. Even though scout camp is pretty much the last place he wants to be right now, he's there, for nearly a week. The great thing is that he is able to bring Austin with him this year! I think they're going to have an awesome time having some good father-son time. (Since they didn't go to fathers and sons). Greg is an awesome dad, and Austin is growing up! He was excited to go with his dad. I hope they are having fun.
hey guys, this is Austin and i just got home from scout camp. My mom is making me write what i remember from it.I'm lucky my dad came!
*made an awesome 2 room tent for me and 2 other friends
*loaded up all the stuff into the tent, and talked with my friend Jackson.
*had some really good food at the cafeteria,drinks,fried chicken ,toast, bread sticks, all that stuff.
*went to bed in my tent with my friend Jackson and another kid named Michael who is like 14 and we got a pretty big kick out of him, this is what he said.
Jackson:"do you know Tessa Gardner, in your grade"?(Tessa is Jackson's sister)
Michael:"yeah,i hate her! she keeps on touching my butt".
Jackson:"dude, Tessa is my sister and would not do that"...
me:almost pukes because it's so funny
Michael:"oh...ugh...ugh there is another kid named Tessa Gardner...there are 2 Tessa's!"
Jackson:"uh hu, sure Michael."
*swam into a freezing cold pool and had to do like 5 laps...which took my like 3 tries.
*me, my dad, and some friends started to carve wood and we made a bunch of cool stuff.
*then that night when we were back inside the tent, i asked Michael a question.
me:"do you know who gorge Paul Dane is Michael"?(i have no idea who gorge Paul Dane even is.)
Michael:"i know him, he comes to my cousins house all of the time and fights with him a lot.
me and Jackson:laughing so hard we could not breathe.did i mention i made the name gorge Paul Dane??
*that morning i woke up to my dad hitting on our tent telling us that we had to get up to do the polar bear.(it was like 5:00 in the morning so we were not to exited to go and jump into a pool that we thought would be freezing and have to swim a lap. but actually it was not that bad, our scout master just made it sound really bad.
*went to our daily merit badge classes, swimming, environmental science,rowing, and wilderness survival.(in my opinion swimming was the worst and wilderness survival was the best because i suck at swimming laps.)
*me and my friends played pranks on each others tents
*for my wilderness survival merit badge, i slept out in the woods with the other scouts in my troop which was really fun but also cold. we talked and joked so it wasn't that bad.
*i went to the camp fire with my dad,and performed a skit with my troop which got everyone laughing.
*i went to hear a scary story about this Indian dude which i liked a lot ...but i dozed off in the middle of it because i was so freakin' cold outside.
*did the polar bear again...this time for 3 days straight.(i finally get to sleep in until 6:00 in the morning!!)
*swamped a canoe at rowing class, and right when i got used to the lake water, we had to get out.
*on the second to last day of camp, i finished all of my merit badge classes and passed every one! Now i have 5 merit badges, first aid, swimming, environmental science,rowing, and wilderness survival!
*on the last day of camp, i played football for a little bit, which i suck at and hate but my friends wanted me to do it so i did, and i got bruised and cut my knee open.
*then on the car ride back, i almost puked so we went to the gas station for a bathroom break and then when we got back into the car. i fell asleep for pretty much the rest of the car drive.
yeah....so that's about all i can remember from scout camp. oh yeah there was also a trading post there that a got a slushy and a cool spider knife from. That's about it=].

That's a way good picture of Greg. Is he feeling o.k? Did he get over his constipation?;). Just getting him back for all that he put me through when I was little!!! I can't deny that he is a great dad! I realized it when I heard about him hiding in the minivan and crying like a baby at Austin's baseball game. Tender.
Greg is a great leader...Sammy loves him! He was so bummbed about missing it! He has his play offs for baseball all this week along with swim team. The girls and I are up in Utah...so Jims on deck. Tell Greg thanks for all of his hard work...I know Sam loves him to death!
Wow Aus, I am so proud of everything you accomplished there. Thanks for writing it down for me. -I love you so much!!!
