On Thursday, these 3 boys (Mason Allen, Brody and Jackson Giles) headed to Phoenix for Scout Day Camp. To say Brody was excited would be an understatement. His backpack was loaded will all the things a boy needs for a day away from his mom: Beef Jerky, chap stick, sunscreen, Gatorade, water, candy. All the important stuff! He could hardly wait to shoot a bb gun, go swimming, shoot a bow and arrow and whatever else was in store. I was slightly worried about him being gone all day but more importantly that he would be in the HOT sun from 3:00 on. What I should have been worried about was him being gone till 11:45 for 3 nights in a row. I seriously felt like I had a teenager living at my house. For 3 nights in a row I waited up for him to get home. It was not fun. I worried and wondered what was taking so long. You should have seen this kid when he finally did walk in the door. His bright yellow camp shirt and floppy tan camp hat were filthy. He was covered with sweat and dirt and his big blue eyes were hardly open. His big heavy backpack smelled and he had every light up necklace, sword and light saber from the trading post. You would have thought the kid would have slept in the next morning but nooooo, he was up at 6 am ready to go back. It was too funny! He had so much fun earning belt loops and hanging out with his friends. He can't wait for next year, I totally can!
