Cold

Our ward had a father and sons camp out last night. In a heated lodge about an hour away. Fun times, I heard. Unless you were the Allens at bedtime.

Campbell is getting close to earning his Eagle. He has a bit to go, but he is getting there. One of the things he needs more of is camp outs. And sleeping in a tent in your backyard or even having a camp out with your family doesn't count. It has to be an official camp out with the church.

Do you see where this is going?

Jacob is the ultimate scout dad. I'm so grateful. And decided that he would be glad to camp out in the snow last night in order for Cam to get another camp out on his list. (You'd better believe I was so thankful all night that I get to be the mom.) So that is exactly what they did.

It was cold. Really, really cold apparently. (According to Jacob's phone, it hit 10 degrees in the middle of the night.) They thought seriously of hightailing it to the lodge a time or two, but they stuck it out. I don't know if I should be impressed or worried.I guess as long as I don't have to be a part of it, I'll be impressed.

Just for the record, my bed was warm and lovely that night.
