Molly Tries Scuba

Our local scuba store had an event last weekend where they offered a free 1/2 hour scuba lesson in their training pool. I convinced Molly to give it a try. She was a bit nervous, but afterwards she exclaimed "I was a mermaid!" and "that was amazing!".  She probably won't get certified right away, but I expect the next time someone goes to a tropical vacation she will be inviting herself along. I took these pictures from poolside.

Fathers and Sons Outing

This past weekend I took Bryson and Ben to our ward's Father and Son's outing (Jarom was able to come too; I'm glad he did). The camp out was held about an hour from home at Wellington Lake. This early in the season it wasn't crowded at all. The weather was a little cool (in the 40s at night) but not bad at all.  We had a little rain overnight, but we put hand warmers in the boy's sleeping bags and they slept toasty and warm all night. They spent most of their time climbing rocks and pretending that "L"-shaped sticks were guns.  Of course we cooked hot dogs on the campfire, and had lots of yummy snacks to supplement.
