High Adventure Camp

He survived Montana by himself.  He is headed to the High Adventure Camp with the young men in our ward.  It's been a while since they have gone camping together.  This was definitely going to be an adventure heading up Beaver Mountain.  The instructions to the boys was to pack warm clothes and rain ponchos.  Ryder doesn't like to pack but what he loves to do is go shopping for all new stuff.  After much discussion  he only needed a few new things.  He was packed and ready to go until we reviewed the list together.  It was now time to repack and reorganize his stuff.

Loading up

All smiles and ready to go.

They were all anxious to hit the road.

Leave Mom!!!
You are embarrassing me.

Rock Climbing
New adventure for many.

There was cell phone silence until Friday afternoon.  Then the text came through can I come home tonight?  My reply Why? How?  His reply "It's wet & cold" and "There are a couple of leaders headed home."  "I can get a ride if you say it's ok."  My next replay "It is up to you".

He arrived home tired, dirty, and wet.  Everything he brought home was soaked.  He was ready for a warm shower and sleep.  He had a great time and didn't mind the cold or wet weather until it dragged on and on.  

It has been fun listening to his stories and adventures that shares at odd times.  We are really glad that he is adventurous and is up for the challenges that come his way.
