A Father-Son Camping Trip

Ryland had been begging Chuck for weeks to take him camping. Since last weekend was fairly mild, Chuck decided to take Ryland on a father-son campout (Lindsey and I were too chicken to endure the cold night - Lindsey actually got to spend the night at her Grandma Hale's house and I had my first night alone in about 12 years! : ). On the way out of our neighborhood, Chuck talked to the Scoutmaster of our ward and was convinced to join the scouts on their camping trip in the hills just above our neighborhood. Ryland was so excited (as you can tell from the size of his smile in the above picture)! The scouts now call him their "Littlest Scout" and Ryland has a few new heroes ...

Ryland is one of the scouts ...

This is a cougar track they found in their campsite (that's a 4-inch knife!). Somewhere in the mountains above our neighborhood is a very big cat.
