Camping in the snow...

This weekend my son's Boy Scout troop went on a camping trip. Because I am fairly active in his troop I went along to help with the kids. My son decided that this would be the weekend that he passed some of his requirements for obtaining his first and second class status. He could not have picked a more miserable weekend to try to achieve these goals. The weather was a verifiable blizzard with weather advisories. He was undaunted by the conditions and managed to not only build and start a fire in very strong wind and snow but also to cook his own breakfast over the fire. I could not be prouder of him but I will admit that I am very glad to be home where it is warm and dry.
