Scout camp with girls.

This summer Kenneth worked as a life guard at Camp Steiner in the high Uinta mountains here in Utah. It is the highest elevation scout camp in the world and they have the ice cold lake to prove it! Our family got invited up for a full week. We got to stay in a cabin and were fed all of our meals. There were a few things we did by way of PR but that was about the only chores we did. We could use all the facilities there. We went out on the canoe, fished, shot the bows, fished and all kinds of other things. It was a great deal of fun.
We went fishing most everyday. We did not catch a lot of fish but we did catch some. They were very good eating and Lisa had fresh fish for the first time and liked it. Fresh trout out of the lake are very tasty, especially when I am the one cooking them.
Daniel earned a fist full of merit badges. He had a lot of fun and was busy all day long. This is a picture of him making a pen that looks like an arrow.
Lisa did this while we fished. It is always nice to sit on the edge of a beautiful lake and read. I like to sit and fish but we all have our thing. For me it is not so much the fish I catch as the view and peaceful setting.
Adam was a counselor for Basketry and this is a picture of him in action. Kenneth was a life guard and taught canoeing. You can see a picture of him teaching canoeing on the previous post about him turning 17. They were both very good counselors and were spoken of very highly by the staff at the camp.
I took this picture while we were out on a hike one day. The place was beautiful and made for some great memories. I have lots of other cool pictures but All I can put on here were these. Maybe I will put up another post with some more.

It is a book called "The Real George Washington." A great book that I would highly recomend.
