A 'Rapid' Recovery from Youth Conference

You would think that after three days of Youth Conference (read: no sleep) during the only heat and humidity we've had all summer, Scott and Craig would be wiped out and ready to collapse.

Not so. As soon as they got home on Saturday afternoon, James offered to take them kayaking/tubing through the rapids of the Sacandaga River and they were up for the challenge. As you can see from these photos, all three had a great time!

Smokey, We're Not in Utah Anymore....

Eric and his fire company left Utah last week and headed to California to fight some wild fires there. Looks like it was quite the experience. How cool to have these photos.

He returned to Provo very late on Saturday night and, while it was great to put all his training to work fighting fires, I think he was happy to be home as well. Check out that beard-wanna-be! *Ü*

It's Not Summer Until...

Yep, it's Scout Camp time. In a quick call home, Craig reports that he's having a fun time there. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that he's hanging out with some of his good friends for the second week in a row.

Apparently, a poor little scout at camp was complaining that everyone in our troop bugged him about looking like Craig. Fortunately, our friend Jeff was there to take the photographic evidence shown above. Check out Craig and mini-Craig. Wow... when did my son get SOOO tall?!
