Cold Camping



Brandon spent last night at his second Klonderee campout. He had a great time and the weather was good for them too. Several of his buddies were able to go because one had just barely turned 12 and the other is almost 12 and his dad was a leader there. It got down to 4 degrees and when it gets below 0 they get a polar bear patch. Maybe next year.

They all stayed warm even though when Brandon got there he realized that he had 2 right hand gloves!! Todd was coming up this morning anyway with some other kids so he brought the match. They went horseback riding and Brandon got his Horsemanship merit badge. 2 badges down and 22 to go!!! Brandon also cooked the chili for the evening meal and also got his first taste of SPAM - not my idea!!

We went to a friend's Eagle Court of Honor on Wednesday night and that was exciting for Brandon to think about his next few years in scouting.

Great job Brandon! What a coincidence...Josh had his winter camp this weekend, too. Too bad they can't be this together!

That camping just doesn't even sound fun! I don't know how those boys do it!

Here we are at the visitors center. Todd and Christen actually climbed pretty far up the dunes. We had fun playing in Medano Creek after we climbed.
