Court of Honor

Our whole family went to support Carter in his Court of Honor this past Sunday. He earned quite a few merit badges and moved up in rank! He went to his first "organized camp" this year up at Camp Hunt at Bear Lake. His leaders had put together a slideshow of numerous pictures from the adventure. Even before the pictures would come in focus we knew exactly which one was Carter. The one not wearing shoes or a shirt, of course! He must be warm-blooded, because that kid would go without shoes every day of his life if my mom would let him. But needless to say he's the cutest little scout of them all. I only got a few pictures and they aren't the best quality, but here are two of my favorites.





-Funny story about Carter's scout camp this year. He was kind of hesistant to go in the first place because it's an entire week. I'm sure that was pretty daunting. But he got all of his things together and went anyways. The second night he was there, my mom got a phone call from him telling her he wanted to come home. He said he wasn't having any fun and it was pointless (Ha). My mom told him that she wasn't going to come up and get him, especially in the middle of the night. She told him to call her back in the morning if he was still feeling like he wanted to come back. My dad got a call the following day from one of his scout leaders who told him, "Carter has been telling all the leaders and the other scouts that he 'just doesn't like organized camps."....Where did he learn the term, "organized camps"?

Riley.

Way to go.

Riley has tried to be better about watching what he says around Cart. That kid looks up to him SO much and pretty much thinks he's the coolest thing since sliced bread, so he takes everything he says very seriously. I just thought it was kinda funny and wanted to write it down somewhere so I'd remember it (and maybe use it as blackmail against Cart someday :)
