Scout Olympics

Jason and Jacob attended a three day camp out with their troop this week. Friday night, the families were invited up to watch the obstacle race and then stay for a potluck dinner and the Court of Honor!

The Young Women's group went up to a campground nearby to complete some of their precamp certifications and came over to the scout camp for the race and dinner.

On our way up to the camp, we met Grandpa Gary and Chewelah and gave him his Father's Day gift...Happy Father's Day, dad!!



I was asked to take pictures of the kids as they went through the "Walk on Stilts", "Archery" and "Zipline" parts of the course. (If we get any pictures of our kids at other stations, I'll add them later.)

I wasn't able to get any pictures of the our kids on stilts - the pictures turned out too blurry. But here they are at Archery...Jacob and Maddie (Jason decided to run a station this year and not compete in the race.)




At one point in the course, the kids had to dive through a huge mud...puddle...(puddle is an understatement). Then they came down the zipline.

Maddie at the end of the zipline - then her full mud pose...after which, she full on hugged her mom!




Jacob on the zipline and his mud shot - and he was kind and DIDN'T hug his mom!




After the race the younger kids got turns on the zipline...here's Megan at the end.



Jason and Joseph messing around...




These guys were sure little troopers! Somehow Jared, Dad & Meredi managed to dodge the camera the entire night! We'll have to make up for it next time!!

Call me confused, but isn't that Joe with the mask on, or am I just reading the line above the picture wrong?
