Jens had his first week long scout camp. He was pretty excited to go and said he had a great week. He earned 8 merit badges!
He had a baseball game on the last night of the camp so Jeff and I rode up the canyon and picked him up a couple of hours before the camp was over. Pictured here are
Tyus and Jens.
Here is the rope bridge that they made.
There was this H U G E rope swing that the boys could play on. I don't even know how or who climbed up that tree to tie the rope on.
Caden had a good
ol' time swinging on it for a few minutes. He would let out this giggle/yell when he would swing out. It was like a giant swinging ride at an amusement park. He loved it.
Our ward always teams up with a Tongan stake whenever we do activities such as this. So with the Tongans help for the boys cooking merit badge, they dug a pit and cooked a pig in the ground.
The other group roasted theirs over the pit. They would take turns turning it for several hours.
This close up picture of it is not for the faint at heart or for animal activists! Just keep in mind the next time you pick yourself up some Black Forrest ham at the grocery store or decide to play football, that it all came from the same animal. SO NO COMMENTS ON ANIMAL CRUELTY! But I will admit that it is pretty gross and I would NOT want to be the one who stuck that stake through it.
Our troop of boys getting ready for dinner
In addition to the pigs, they did dutch oven
tilapia, dutch oven cheesy potatoes,
spaghetti, hot dogs and they
roasted some potatoes in the pit with the pig too.
Poor little Garrett went through the line and jokingly said that he'd like to go ahead and have the pigs
tongue. Well they didn't even hesitate and gave it to him. AND HE ATE IT! He seriously almost threw up. He said the texture was icky and that it tasted like a butt. Now I don't know how he knows what a butt tastes like, but I'll take his word on it!
Caleb got a potato from the pigs pit and when he opened it up, it was was this sick dried up, over cooked piece of gunk. And unlike Garrett, he DID NOT eat it.
