Oh, what would YOU do for a Klondike bar?

Camp in the Utah mountains in the middle of winter?
Dar did.

He planned a Klondike camp-out with the scouts in our ward and they were able to go the first weekend in January. We were honestly really worried they wouldn't have snow (the whole point of a Klondike camp-out is to play in the snow!). And they didn't have any snow--the first day. But they were pleasantly surprised to wake up to about 3-4 inches of snow the next morning. Dar was in heaven! Although we had to tease him a little bit because one of the scout motto's is "Be Prepared," right? Well, he wasn't prepared for the snow...he was prepared for MUD. When they woke up with snow in the morning he sent one of the other scout leaders back into town to get the Klondike sled they worked so hard on but thought they weren't going to be able to use, Dar's snow pants, and his coat. Silly boy. They had a blast though, and I'm so glad. Camping in the winter may sound fun to the boys, but definitely not to me!

Wipe-out!
My handsome hubby excited about being able to use their sled :)
He may or may not want me to tell you he got a little crazy with the sled and accidentally bruised his tail-bone. Ouchy! Poor guy.

Is that not beautiful to look at? Love it!
Our good friend, Tyson, and Dar. Happy boys :)
