Elk Hunt

How in the world they made it back to camp in one trip with both elk I will never know...

Matthew and Tyler both had an antlerless elk tag. It only took a few seconds to fill both tags. They all happened to be in the right place just as the sun came up- both boys saw elk, and both got there elk in one well placed shot. (It's just good for them that all four of them were there to help with the loading and unloading)

Tyler's cow...

Matthew's trophy. This was a first for both boys. We have never had good luck elk hunting before. the freezer will be full this year.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
