Ethan had a backpacking trip for scouts. He was so excited to finally use his new backpack that he got at Christmas. Jeremy is the assistant scoutmaster, so he gets to go on all the camping trips with Ethan. It is really nice for them to both be in scouts together. Ethan really likes having his Dad along! They went to Clear Creek and hiked 5 miles in, then 5 miles back out. They were pretty tired when they got home the next day, but they had a great time! I am so thankful Ethan is with such a great group of boys! They were my Bears and Webelos back when I was a scout leader, so I have a special place in my heart for them. They are fantastic! The four of them have been together since they were 8. They really love scouts and all 4 of them just earned their Star last week. They are all hoping to get their eagle together by the end of next  year. Yay boys! A big thanks to Cole's grandpa Hank for always taking amazing pictures on scout outings! Jeremy and Ethan never remember to take pictures for me. Thanks Hank!!
