Scout camp

How darling is this boy? And yet, how tired does he look?

For good reason. This picture was taken this morning at 3:50am.

This is Campbell's first year to go to scout camp. And the scouts had to be there by 5:30am (long story). Which means, because of the length of the drive, they had to leave by 4:00am.

He was excited, nervous, tired, full of adrenaline and ready to go.

His dad is headed up there Thursday to be a good bishop and spend time with the boys. Cam knows he is coming and is excited to have him. What Cam doesn't know is that Wednesday night is family night and I'm going to take the kids and head up there to be a part of it. I know Cam will be fine. He will do great, he will work hard, he will have a good time. And yet, I'm not sad to be headed there on Wednesday to see it for myself. And to give that boy a hug.

Scout camp. I can't believe we are here already. And I can't believe that this is likely the first of what, fourteen, fifteen times at least? Yikes. Here we go.
