Dallin & Jim arrived home Saturday, June 14th, @ 9 P.M.
We were so excited to see them.
Blake thought Dallin had grown taller and his voice seemed different (He is turning 13 on Sunday).
They brought back shells, stories, souvenirs, laundry, and...
Mom's camera! Now she can blog again!
The highlight for them was the snorkeling. They saw Leopard Sharks (harmless) and bat rays that were about 7' across. Also, the largest starfish they had ever seen. Jim bought an underwater camera, so, hopefully, we will get those pictures posted soon. There is so much to tell so I am hoping to get Jim involved in the blog post (don't hold your breath though). From what they tell me, they had a great time, Dallin accomplished a lot on merit badges and Jim was glad to be there to help him, but they were both glad to be back on the mainland and home in their soft beds.

What a fun scout camp!
Jack is at day camp all week long, and Brock & Parker go to scout camp next week. The pictures were great:)

What kind of camping is that? Not one where you have to dig trenches around your tent at all hours of the night in hopes of not getting any MORE wet. Not one where you have to cook your own food over a fire, learn to shave your legs, get hot plastic splattered on your leg, etc. etc. etc.... that's the way the girls do it!

Fond memories for all!
