Scout Camp - Tomahawk 2012

Once upon a  Sunday night, about 8:30 p.m., the Scout Master (Bryce) wasn't able to get the scout flag which they NEEDED for the organized camp they were going to at 7:a.m.the next day- Monday Morning. The Scout Master begged and pleaded with his 'non sewing wife'-, to help him MAKE a troop flag. If it would have been Saturday, this Scout Master's 'non sewing wife' certainly would have purchased enough Badge Magic to stick all those numbers and arrow on. (A day late and a dollar short). Sunday night she dug out and dusted off the sewing machine. After lots of  unpicking, and lots of "you've got to be kidding me", and as much effort as she could muster,  here's the troop flag designed by the Scout Master.   (Fortunately the troop name "Golden Flaming Arrows" was able to be ironed on! )  "I know it's getting late" said the Scout Master..."however we need to finish the troop shirts also".  We need one for every boy and every leader."  The Scout Master's 'non-sewing wife' finally found just the right iron on tools, to finish those troop shirts. "We're in luck" said the Scout Master's 'non-sewing wife' "It's a Miracle! " They worked together late into the night, to get those logos ironed on. The Scout Master, and his 'non-sewing wife' were very tired, but very happy with all their efforts. They were also very happy finally able to get some sleep that night.   And the flag flew over the camp all week long. The Scout Master, his 'non-sewing wife, and the scout troop, and the camp leaders lived happily ever after.        I love happy endings!  

We did a GREAT job if I do say so myself! 

They even won a ribbon for the flag! 
"Good job to the Scout Master and his 'non-sewing wife'



Tyler and Taylor attended a pioneering merit badge class, and they made a swing.





Tyler also attended a class where they made some fun baskets. He earned several more merit badges while at this camp.  Good Job Tyler!

Tyler's ordination

June 24, 2012 We can't believe that Tyler is now ordained to be a Teacher. 14 years certainly has gone quickly.

We are thankful for family support!
