Camp Phillips - Part 1

Last week we spent 5 nights and 6 days at Camp Phillips Boy Scout camp for Max's summer camp. It was a lot of fun and we did not get any rain!!! He earned almost two full rank advancements, 2nd and 1st Class Scout, we just have a few things to finish up. He also earned his Reptile merit badge and Mammal Study merit badge. There were about 250 scouts camp wide, with 33 of them just from our Troop. With the 7 adults that attended we had 40 people at camp. It was fun, noisy, active and a great learning experience for the boys. Oh and lots of fishing to as there are 4 lakes at camp. (Part 2 will have a few more pictures.)

4 Generations

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Childs came for a visit from Utah to see their first great grandchild. It was a quick visit, but a great time. We also had the opportunity to have Marley blessed in Church on Sunday. Justine's dad and her sister Carrie were also able to come to the blessing.
