Jr. Deputy Camp started up two weeks ago, and the weeks before that were spent in preparation. I'm in charge of the program: Camp Director, they call me. It was fun...we had a lot of kids (over 180 registered, but not all showed up every day), and it was extremely rewarding. I'll be posting pictures on my Deputy Lewis page, if you're so inclined to go look.
But the business hasn't stopped at work. Matthew was off at Boy Scout Camp; Camp Sidney Dew, in Rome, GA. I should have some pictures pretty soon, when I get his film developed, but for now, here's some that our Bishop took.
He had a blast. It's the first time he's ever been away from home without us, and he totally enjoyed it. I think he was a bit homesick, but he got over it, and I know it was a great learning experience for him. He managed to earn two merit badges AND his Spikebuck badge!
Jonathan spent the week with MaLew (Austin's mom), and he really had a good time. His only down part was that he wound up with Strep throat on his last day there. Thankfully, MaLew managed to get him to a doctor and got him on an antibiotic pretty quickly. He's much better now, and I'm hoping it won't make the rounds through the whole family.
Annah missed her brothers last week, but she's a trooper. She went with me to Jr. Deputy Camp a couple of days, and got to see the K-9 tracking dogs and the fire trucks. She also got blasted with water from the fire truck, and I'll probably never be able to convince her to go anywhere near one again, but that's okay. In the end, she was fine - albiet a little (okay, a lot!) wet!
Anyway, the family is all together again, and it's time to return to the normal grind of life. But what am I complaining about? Our life is FAR from boring!
