Another Midwest Scout Camp

We thought going into summer that Tyson would be attending a Scout Camp in Colorado but as it turned out, he got to spend one more camp here in Kansas ... which meant he got to enjoy another year of fireflies, suffocating humidity, and more severe weather. That's "life in the Midwest."

His troop spent 6-days at Camp Naish in nearby Bonner Springs. While he didn't get to shoot rifles or other activities that he hoped for, he did knock out some important Eagle required merit badges. That should be enough to move him to the rank of Star. Hooray!

We had a severe thunderstorm come barreling into the area on Friday night (read: 1am "late" Friday night) ... and while Mom and Dad enjoyed the fascinating light show from the safe, comfortable confines of the living room, they couldn't help but think about their boy out camping in the storm. Luckily they had good Priesthood leaders with them ... that, and a 3-foot thick storm shelter to protect them in the wee hours of the morning.
