The soccer season is closing, the boys are in the midst of TAKS tests, and we are getting warm spells in between the divine spring weather of Austin, which all means the school year is winding down and we are getting excited about summer.
We haven't taken a summer traveling vacation in a while, so we are pumped that we are combining the boys Boy Scout summer camp in Colorado with a pre-trip to see Cory's western flank of the family in Utah.
We will all drive together to Escalante and Salt Lake City, leaving June 13 or so. We are not sure our itinerary traveling or when we get there, but we know we'll leave Cory somewhere in Utah on the 20th when the boys and I head to Camp Cris Dobbins at the Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch near Colorado Springs. Cory will end up flying straight home for some quiet time while Sean, Brian and I frolic in the Rockies.
Our outings lately have been centered around Scouts:
District Adventure Weekend:
Camping 101 was Sean's first campout as a Troop 448 Boy Scout, but it was District Adventure weekend where he really showed his mettle. His Storm Patrol did well in the patrol games and he also was a part of the Troop team that took third place in the troop games competition. Dad also won the Dutch oven cookoff with two types of lasagna: meat and vegetarian. Brian was trying his best to juggle soccer and scouts, trying to make two games that were both eventually canceled over wet weather and fields.
Well, that catches us up. ... we'll update in a couple of weeks after the soccer season ends and Sean competes in the UIL Music Memory and Math Pentathalon events.
