Jamboral

This year is the 100th anniversary of Scouting. And to celebrate, our district put together an awesome event called the Jamboral. Our district stretches from Wyoming to the Idaho/Utah border so it was a huge event for the area. There were approximately 6000 leaders and adults that attended! The event was a Friday and Saturday so we camped at the fairgrounds in Blackfoot. (That was an interesting experience itself...it was pretty darn cold and there were cows mooing all night long. Oh well, that's part of scouting sometimes!) There were so many activities going on it was amazing!

I think the favorite were the monkey bridges. The boys kept going back to these.This monkey bridge that Caleb is on was huge and was hard to cross.

One thing I'm always in awe about with scouting is how much the flag is reverenced. They had a wonderful flag ceremony with this huge flag.
Here's my future Boy Scout, Joshie!
Josh brought his Pinewood Derby car and got to race with other kids he didn't even know, he loved it!
I don't recommend a one man tug of war team.
I felt so lucky to be able to go with the boys and Jon to this event. We had so much fun!

My tween!

Caleb turned 11 recently and I'm just waiting now for the day he's taller than me. Yikes! He's creeping up so quickly!! We had a bunch of family over and a friend of his, and hung out, and of course ate yummy food. He requested an ice cream cake so under that yummy crunched oreo was a chocolate cake with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. It was delicious!Boys!

Watch out! Here comes Mr. Stylish!
Big guy has upgraded to a mountain bike with gears! He's all set for anything now!
We sure are proud of you Caleb and love you so much!!
