Happy to be Home!

Bryce & Joey returned home from scout camp last Saturday, and they were so excited to finally be on "home" soil. When asked what they were most excited about, being home, Bryce said having a nice shower...Joey said cooking and eating a frozen pizza, and sleeping in his own bed. They had a wonderful experience and said that the people at camp were very friendly, gracious, and welcoming. I'm glad about that. Nothing like going to a camp where everything's crummy...both people and place. Joey attended 3 classes: pottery, Indian lore, and archeology. Pottery was his favorite because he had fun crafting the pots and sculptures. He brought some things home that he made and I gotta say, they're pretty good. He had a lot of fun with that! Bryce was able to go to some classes, too, mainly for leaders but he also got to ride on the horses and do some BB gun shooting. They were able to attend Sacrament meeting on Sunday, which of course was quite different from normal, but it was a nice experience for all of them. They had couple of scout leaders from the camp that spoke, one of which is actually in the Stake Presidency in his stake, but he and his family usually spend time at the camp during the summer and take care of the classes and stuff. All in all, they had a nice time! Bryce is already talking about going on another scout camp next month, to the Grand Canyon. Gosh if you ask me, it seems like he really enjoys the camping stuff. His excuse to go on that one is so the boys can get their camping nights in, and I guess they also have to do a 1000 ft. vertical hike. I'm so worried about that...I told Bryce they all need to somehow prepare for it because I don't think the boys are physically ready to do that, let alone him. He's not as young as he thinks he is anymore. Well, I guess we'll cross that bridge when the time comes. For now, I'm just glad they're home again...safe and healthy!
