Thursday at camp...

Thursday was the second day of archery. I missed coming up to the archery range on Tuesday so made it a point to come up for Michael.

Pack 687 practicing.

Station 2 was Knots and Relay. Jerry Luke was teaching them about knots and how to tie them. We used twizzler licorice to tie the knots and the kids could eat them afterwards.

Brad Springs was teaching a relay race game.

Our lunchtime special was Nathan Parks. He rides bulls and talked to the boys about that. They loved it!

Another station on Thursday was horseshoes. Josh Rebello and Erich Ellison were in charge of this station. The learned how to play a game of horseshoes.

They also made barbed wire photo frames. Michael said he knew just what picture he was going to put in his.

Camp Clark is right on the Oregon coast. This is how close we are to the beach. The water was a beautiful shade of green/blue. The waves were really big because it had been really raining hard earlier in the day.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
