Scout Camp - 2009

Jourdan went to scout camp with church out in East Colorado. He was there for a week. Jourdan worked on getting 3 badges. Wilderness Survival, Canoeing and Rock Climbing.

Wilderness Survival - Wilderness survival was probably the hardest for Jourdan. The scouts had to hike into the woods, build their own shelter, and sleep in it by themselves. No sleeping bag etc.. All he had was a sweatshirt. Jourdan said he only got about an hour of sleep. He kept hearing owls, worried about bears and mountain lions, and was freezing. Even though it wasn't the most pleasant task, he learned a lot and earned his badge.

Rock Climbing - Rock climbing was Jourdan's favorite. He loves climbing at our Rec Center, and was really excited to do it at camp. More exciting is he actually climbed a real rock ledge. Jourdan also had to learn to scale down the ledge. He has a couple of scrapes and bruises, but earned his badge.

Canoeing - I was excited Jourdan learned how to Canoe. Now he can take us out on the river - maybe? To earn the canoeing badge he had to learned how to paddle, rescue, get back into the boat without flipping it, and balancing the boat.

Jourdan went to camp with his BFF Kaden so that extra fun for them.

A visit from the tooth fairy

Zackary went to the dentist yesterday and got 4 more root canals, and his front tooth pulled. Zack did very well. We have a great dentist, that Zack knows well, so he felt comfortable. Zack was only in a little pain when he got home. We let him sleep in our bed, so that was a treat for him.



Good news, Is Zack had a visit from the tooth fairy last night. Zack got $10.00 (includes pain and suffering). Zack decided with his money he wanted to buy sand for his sand box! He is feeling great today, and really not in any pain.


Doesn't he look cute without his front teeth??

~Happy Girl ~

We adopted Bella a few months ago. We weren't in the market for a new dog, but Bella hit a spot with the family. Bella was abused by her past owners. She was beat,starved and strangled. Thankfully, a man caught the owner strangling her and was able to rescue her. Little Bella was then sent to the vet for recovery, and then to the Humane Society. A week later we brought Bella home to our house. She has since gained weight and loves running around the yard with the other dogs. Bella loves the dog bed!!

Baseball

Wednesday was Zack's first baseball practice. Zack has been waiting all year for this. Zack has loved baseball since he was old enough to pick up a bat. We love summer sports!

The below video is for Grandpa : )

Saturday

Saturday we went to the US Freestyle Kayaking Team Trials at Whitewater Park. It was so fun to watch all the kayakers and surfers take on the river. Zack was loving every minute of it. All Zack is talking about is learning to Kayak. While we were down at the river we met up with Jourdan and Kaden. We were surprised to run into them : ) You can tell it's summertime in Glenwood. The kayakers, surfers, bikers, paragliders are all out in full force.
