Blue Mountain Scout Camp 2010

We had the opportunity to be on staff for the Blue Mountain Scout camp the middle of June.

Don has been staffing for over 10 years. This was Becky's second year. Don is camp chaplain and conducts morning devotionals every morning. These short meetings help everyone get the day off to a great start. Becky is a camp commissioner who oversees 10-12 troops and helps in any other way needed.

Nephew Brady has been on staff for 5 years. He has matured and become a leader (music and otherwise) at camp. This year Brady's dad, John was able to be on staff. He worked hard and was a great addition. It was great having my brother there with us. He says he will be back next year. Brady will be serving a mission in Mexico.

Little Bunny Fru-Fru had a comeback this year at the Friday closing campfire. Edward says that he had toned things down a touch this year.

Beginning of a busy Summer

Our granddaughter Marissa got to come home to our house for a week after Memorial Day. We spent some time at Grandma and Grandpa Popes. Marissa and I swam and played their organ while Don had Scout meetings.

We picked up Megan and Liz as we took Marissa home and then stayed in Idaho to tend Katie's kids while they went on trek to Martin's Cove. We took a little picnic trip with the kids to Swan Valley. These pictures are taken by a rest stop. You can see the Snake River in the background. It was cold in Idaho but beautiful.

We welcomed home the trekkers with white handkerchiefs at the stake center. Katie, Curtis, and Madi had a memoriable time and so did we.
