Ringling Brothers Circus

Aunt Jen, Uncle Steve and Braden took Austin and Tanner to the circus today for their birthdays. They had a great time. Austin's favorite part was when the people stood upside down on the roof. Tanner's favorite part was the elephants.

Scout Camp Out


Mitchell and Chad had tons of fun on the camp out!! The nights were very COLD!! Mitchell and one other scout slept outside next to the fire on the second night. Mitchell woke up in the middle of the night and saw a ton of raccoons on the other scout... scary!! Mitchell and six other scouts got lost hiking. They realized they were lost when they hit an intersection and the other boys weren't behind them. Wyatt Smith killed his leg the second day by running full speed ahead into a post!! The scouts were able to put their first-aid skills to use and help him out. The ice they used for Wyatt's leg was put on the table before bed. In the morning, the ice was still frozen. Nothing but good times at this camp out!!
