Caleb and Daxon got pretty good at setting up the tent.

One of the highlights of any camping trip for Caleb and Daxon is building a fire. Most of the places they stayed were under a burn ban, but one campsite allowed open fires. They will spend hours feeding the fire with sticks and pine needles as well as feeding themselves with roasted marshmallows.

The boys were so proud that they climbed Enchanted Rock!

Ward BBQ and Concert

Our ward hosted an activity featuring a band made up of members of our ward. We have some amazing musicians. One of the members actually opened for Journey years ago. They asked Rico to sing a couple of songs with them. He did Johnny B Goode and Superman(Elizabeth's favorite). The band did a great job and everyone had lots of fun.

Eagle Project

In August, Ammon completed his Eagle Project. We painted six rooms for residents of a women's shelter in Humble. He received lots of support from the ward members and we were able to finish in about 4 hours. He did a great job and we are so proud of him. He has two more merit badges to earn before he can receive his Eagle Scout Award. We are hoping to have that done before January.

Def Leppard Concert

Rico, Elizabeth and Ammon went to the Def Leppard concert in August. Elizabeth bought the tickets months ago when she first learned they were coming to Houston. Def Leppard is her favorite 80's Rock Band. Cheap Trick and Poison opened for them and all three bands sounded amazing. "Rock! Rock! Till you drop!"

Tubing

Caleb and Noah get ready to go tubing. The two questions Caleb and Daxon always ask whenever we tell them we are going to Papa's house are...Will Noah be there? and Will Papa take us out in the boat?
